Ingredients (Serves 4):

  • 2 large ripe bananas
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (or chocolate of your choice)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
  • Toppings (optional):
    • Chopped nuts (almonds, peanuts, pistachios)
    • Sprinkles
    • Shredded coconut
    • Mini chocolate chips
    • Crushed cookies

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Bananas:

    • Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise or into 1-2 inch chunks, depending on your preference.
    • Insert a wooden stick, skewer, or popsicle stick into each banana piece.
    • Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for about 2 hours or until firm.

  2. Melt the Chocolate:

    • Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl.
    • Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

  3. Dip the Bananas:

    • Remove the frozen bananas from the freezer.
    • Dip each banana piece into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Use a spoon to help if needed.
    • Let the excess chocolate drip off.

  4. Add Toppings:

    • Immediately sprinkle your desired toppings over the chocolate before it sets.

  5. Freeze Again:

    • Place the chocolate-dipped bananas back on the baking sheet and return them to the freezer for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens completely.

  6. Serve:

    • Enjoy them straight from the freezer for a cool, delicious treat!

Tips:

  • Storage: Store the frozen chocolate bananas in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to a week.
