Vegan Tim Tam Inspired Ice-Cream Bars

These Tim Tam inspired bars are to die for. I know allot of you might look at the ingredients and wonder if the avocado or banana would dominate the flavour however you really don't even taste them.

Adding cocoa, lucuma and sweetener kind of knocks these stronger flavours out.

They are creamy, addictive and everyone in the family are going to love :)
