Chocolate Covered Frozen Banana (Printable Version)

Frozen banana bites coated in chocolate with optional peanut butter and crunchy toppings. Easy, refreshing, and fun.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 2 large ripe bananas

→ Chocolate Coating

02 - 200 g semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

→ Optional Layer

03 - 4 tbsp creamy peanut butter

→ Topping

04 - 2 tbsp crushed nuts (e.g., peanuts, almonds, or walnuts)
05 - 1 tbsp shredded coconut
06 - 1 tbsp sprinkles

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Peel the bananas and slice into 1 cm (½-inch) thick rounds. Arrange the slices on the prepared baking sheet.
03 - Top each banana slice with a small dollop (about ½ tsp) of peanut butter.
04 - Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 30 minutes, until the banana slices are firm.
05 - Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until smooth. Alternatively, melt in a double boiler.
06 - Remove the banana slices from the freezer. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each slice into the melted chocolate, coating completely. Let excess chocolate drip off.
07 - Return each chocolate-coated banana bite to the baking sheet. If desired, immediately sprinkle with crushed nuts, coconut, or sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
08 - Freeze for at least 1½ hours, or until completely firm.
09 - Serve frozen. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

02 -
  • Naturally gluten free if your chocolate is certified

  • I love how the chocolate locks in the creamy banana center and I always go heavy on the coconut for that extra chewy sweetness These remind me of lazy summers with my kids giggling as we dipped and decorated banana bites together
03 -
  • Prep all toppings before melting your chocolate so nothing sets before adding
  • Use ripe but not overripe bananas for best flavor and firm texture
  • If the chocolate starts to thicken while you dip warm it gently again to keep it glossy
