Ingredients
Bananas and Chocolate
- 3 bananas
- 6 oz dark chocolate, chopped or broken into pieces
Optional Toppings
- Chopped nuts
- Shredded coconut
- Dried fruit
- Cacao nibs
Instructions
- Prepare the bananas
Cut each banana in half crosswise. Push a popsicle stick into the cut end of each half, then peel the banana halves.
- Freeze the bananas
Arrange the bananas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper. Freeze for at least 2 hours, until firm.
- Melt the chocolate
Place the chocolate in a small heatproof bowl. Microwave it, stirring and checking every 20 seconds, until smooth. Alternatively, melt it gently in a double boiler.
- Dip and decorate
Dip each frozen banana in the melted chocolate. Twirl it over the bowl to let excess chocolate drip off, then set it on a cooling rack or parchment-lined baking sheet. Quickly sprinkle with your chosen toppings before the chocolate hardens.
- Freeze until set
Return the bananas to the freezer for 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm. Serve frozen.
Notes
- Peeling the bananas after cutting them in half makes it easier to handle each piece and insert the sticks.
- Work quickly when adding toppings because the chocolate sets rapidly on the frozen bananas.
- Use parchment or wax paper to prevent the bananas from sticking to the baking sheet.
- Nutrition estimates are for one chocolate-covered banana half and do not include optional toppings; exact values vary with the chocolate used.
