Frozen Chocolate-Covered Bananas
Equipment
- 8 popsicle sticks (wooden or plastic)
Ingredients
- 4 Ripe bananas peeled
- 1 cup (8 oz.) chocolate chips or carob chips
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Toppings of your choice, such as
- Shredded coconut
- Flaked sea salt
- Naturally-colored sprinkles
- Freeze-dried raspberries
- Dried apple chips ground up
- Roasted nuts (pecans or pistachios)
Instructions
- Cut the bananas in half lengthwise. Place each banana half (wider end) on a popsicle stick. Place the banana halves on a parchment-lined plate or container. Freeze for a minimum of 2 hours.
- Arrange your toppings in little bowls. Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler or a stainless steel bowl placed on top of a saucepan filled with simmering hot water on medium heat. Add the coconut oil. Whisk occasionally until melted.
- Use a silicone brush to brush the melted chocolate onto the frozen bananas. While the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle with any toppings of your choice. Work quickly as the chocolate freezes quickly. Place on parchment or wax paper to set. Refreeze the bananas, storing in an air-tight container.
- Enjoy!
Notes
Note: Instead of putting the bananas on sticks, you can just slice them before coating with melted chocolate and toppings.
