Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole ripe bananas
- 1 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds or peanuts)
- 0.25 cup shredded coconut
- 0.25 cup sprinkles
Instructions
Peel the bananas and cut each into 4 equal pieces. Insert a wooden stick or skewer into each banana piece. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place in the freezer for 30 minutes.
In a small saucepan, combine the dairy-free dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat over low heat, stirring continuously until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Prepare your toppings by placing the chopped nuts, shredded coconut, and sprinkles into separate shallow bowls or plates.
Remove the bananas from the freezer. Dip each banana piece into the melted chocolate, covering it completely. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
Immediately roll or sprinkle the chocolate-covered bananas with your choice of toppings, ensuring they stick before the chocolate hardens.
Place the coated banana pieces back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Once all banana pieces are coated and topped, return the tray to the freezer to set for at least 20 minutes before serving.
Serve as a delightful treat immediately from the freezer or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
