# How To Make It:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Peel bananas and cut into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
03 - Arrange banana slices in a single layer on the sheet and freeze until firm, at least 1 hour.
04 - Melt chocolate with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler until smooth, stirring well.
05 - Using a fork or toothpick, dip each frozen banana slice into melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • They come together in under 20 minutes of actual work, with freezing doing the heavy lifting.
  • Your kids will actually ask to help, and the results taste fancy without any real effort.
  • They're naturally sweet without being cloying, and frozen chocolate and banana is genuinely the perfect texture combo.
02 -
  • Frozen bananas will sweat slightly when they hit warm chocolate—that's normal and actually helps the coating stick, but don't let them sit at room temperature or the whole thing gets mushy.
  • If your chocolate seizes (turns grainy and thick), add a tiny bit of coconut oil and stir gently until it smooths out again; it happens to everyone.
03 -
  • If you're making these for a crowd, melt your chocolate in a tall glass so you can dip without having to fish pieces out of a shallow bowl.
  • Keep your toppings in separate small bowls—you'll move faster and can switch flavors mid-batch without mixing everything together.
