Description
A simple recipe for frozen bananas coated in chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium bananas
- 10 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- Optional toppings: chopped nuts, sprinkles, shredded coconut
Instructions
- Peel the bananas and cut them in half crosswise.
- Insert a wooden stick or popsicle stick into the cut end of each banana half.
- Place the bananas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Freeze the bananas for at least 2 hours, or until solid.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
- Remove the frozen bananas from the freezer.
- Dip each frozen banana into the melted chocolate, rotating to coat completely. Work quickly as the chocolate will set fast.
- If using toppings, immediately sprinkle them onto the wet chocolate.
- Return the coated bananas to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze for another 30 minutes, or until the chocolate shell is firm.
Notes
- For a cleaner dip, use a tall, narrow glass for the melted chocolate.
- If the chocolate hardens while dipping, reheat it briefly in the microwave.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer.
