Description
Frozen banana slices dipped in smooth dark chocolate and topped with crushed peanuts. These sweet, crunchy, and creamy treats are perfect for a refreshing snack or a healthier dessert option.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe but firm bananas
- 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1/4 cup crushed roasted peanuts (unsalted or lightly salted)
- Toothpicks or skewers (optional)
Instructions
- Slice bananas into 1-inch thick rounds and place them on a parchment-lined tray. Freeze for 1 hour.
- In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together using a microwave in 20-second intervals or over a double boiler. Stir until smooth.
- Using a fork or toothpick, dip each frozen banana piece into the melted chocolate, coating it fully.
- Place dipped bananas back on the parchment-lined tray. Immediately sprinkle with crushed peanuts before the chocolate sets.
- Freeze for another 15–20 minutes, or until chocolate is firm.
- Serve chilled or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week.
Notes
- Use firm bananas to prevent them from becoming mushy when dipping.
- Try topping with shredded coconut, sea salt, or mini chocolate chips for variety.
- Dark chocolate can be substituted with milk or white chocolate as preferred.
- Allow to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for a softer bite.
