This is more creamy ice than ice-cream; it doesn't have the silky texture of a classic churned custard, but the bananas add real richness and texture. Get the kids involved in the sandwiching and dunking. And remember: chocolate-covered fingers are the easiest to clean.

    Before assembling, melt chocolate in a small bowl over simmering water. Remove from heat when fully melted.
