Time to read: 4 mins | Time to make: 2 hours freezing + 15 min prep | Yields: 6 servings

Ingredients

• 3 bananas

• 4 ounces (115 g) dark chocolate, chopped

• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  
  

  Toppings:
  

• chopped salted peanuts

• shredded coconut

• cranberries or other dried fruits

• nut butter

• cacao nibs

• 6 popsicle sticks or wooden skewers

Method

1. Peel the bananas, slice them in half and insert a popsicle stick into the cut end.

2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay bananas on a prepared sheet and freeze for at least 2 hours or up to 2 days.

3. When ready to eat, melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in 20-second increments in the microwave.

4. Dip bananas, one piece at a time, in chocolate, spooning on additional chocolate to cover.

5. Sprinkle with your favorite toppings.

6. Enjoy immediately or store in the freezer until you are ready to enjoy.

Notes

• I suggest avoiding leaving these chocolate-covered bananas at room temperature for long. You want to serve them chilled. Leave them in the freezer if you’re not enjoying them straight away.
