- 3-4 ripe bananas not too mushy, but not green either
- 12 oz chocolate chips dark, milk, whatever makes you happy
- 2 tbsp coconut oil makes the chocolate all glossy and fancy
- Toppings if you're feeling extra: chopped nuts, sprinkles, sea salt, coconut flakes
Slice and Prep (The Easy Part)Cut your bananas into rounds — like half-inch thick or whatever looks good to you. I'm not out here with a ruler, babe.Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay those banana slices out. Stick them in the freezer for about 30 minutes. This step is clutch — trust the process. Melt That Chocolate SituationWhile your bananas are getting frosty, melt your chocolate chips with the coconut oil. I do it in 30-second bursts in the microwave, stirring between each one. Don't rush it or you'll end up with chocolate concrete (been there).You want it smooth and dippable, not thick like frosting. Dip Like Your Life Depends on ItHere's where it gets fun. Take those frozen banana slices and dip them in the melted chocolate. I use a fork to fish them out — way less messy than using your fingers.Put them back on the parchment and if you're doing toppings, sprinkle them on NOW before the chocolate sets. You've got maybe 30 seconds before it hardens. Final FreezeBack in the freezer for at least an hour. I know waiting sucks, but trust me — the texture is everything when they're properly frozen.
-
Use ripe but firm bananas — mushy ones are a nightmare to slice and dip.
-
Chocolate too thick? Add another teaspoon of coconut oil and stir.
-
Add toppings quickly! Chocolate sets fast on frozen banana, so sprinkle right after dipping.
-
Make them fancier: drizzle with peanut butter, roll in chopped nuts, or even a dash of sea salt for that salty-sweet hit.
-
Storage: They keep in an airtight container in the freezer up to 2 weeks (but good luck not eating them all in 2 days).
