Equipment: 12.25 x 16.25 Inch Parchment Paper Sheets & Stainless Steel Sheet Pan

Ingredients

3 large, ripe bananas (approximately 400 grams)

300 grams of your favorite chocolate or chocolate chips (2 cups chips or chopped pieces)

2 tablespoons (30 ml) coconut oil

For toppings, 2-3 tablespoons of any of the following, for a total of about 8 tablespoons of toppings: Chopped Toasted almonds, walnuts, pecans, peanuts, etc.

Gingersnap, graham cracker, or Biscoff cookie crumbs

Toasted or untoasted shredded coconut

Drizzled chocolate of another type

Or feel free to get creative with what you have!

Preparation

Line a half sheet pan with a Kana Precut Parchment Paper Sheet. Set aside.

Slice the bananas into ½ inch thick slices. Set aside.

Prepare any toppings desired and set them aside.

Place the chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Stir, then microwave in 20-second intervals until the chocolate is fully melted, stirring between each interval.

Use a fork, a dipping tool, or a skewer to dip each banana into the chocolate to fully coat. Drag the bottom along the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate, then place on the lined baking sheet.

Every 8-10 or so slices, add your desired toppings before the chocolate starts to set.

If the chocolate cools down and gets thick while dipping, microwave for 20 seconds and stir again to re-melt. Once all bananas are coated and topped, place in the freezer and chill for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, before enjoying.

Note: It’s best to remove just a few banana bites from the freezer at a time to enjoy them at their best texture, as they soften very quickly at room temperature. You can always go back for seconds!
The coconut oil helps the chocolate solidify at cold temperatures but prevents it from becoming too hard to bite when frozen. This cannot be subbed for another type of oil, but you can use one tablespoon of butter if you prefer
