Print Recipe

A quick and easy frozen treat combining creamy banana slices dipped in rich chocolate and topped with crunchy almonds. Ready in under 10 minutes, perfect for a guilt-free snack or light dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe bananas, peeled and sliced into ½-inch rounds
  • 1 cup (170g) good-quality dark or milk chocolate chips or chopped bar
  • ½ cup (60g) whole or roughly chopped raw almonds
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) coconut oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and cut 2 large ripe bananas into ½-inch thick rounds. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart. Freeze for about 30 minutes until firm but not rock solid.
  2. While bananas chill, lightly toast ½ cup of almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant. Let cool, then roughly chop.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring well between each, until smooth. Alternatively, melt over a double boiler.
  4. Using a fork or spoon, dip each frozen banana slice into the melted chocolate, coating it fully. Let excess chocolate drip off. Immediately sprinkle chopped almonds over the chocolate coating before it sets.
  5. Place the coated banana bites back on the parchment-lined tray. Freeze for at least 1 hour or until the chocolate hardens completely and the bites are firm.
  6. Serve the creamy frozen chocolate banana bites straight from the freezer.

Notes

Freeze banana slices first to prevent mushiness. Toast almonds for extra flavor. Use high-quality chocolate with at least 60% cocoa for best results. Coconut oil is optional but helps chocolate set with a glossy finish. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks, layering with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
