I wanted to make frozen bananas from the time i started watching the Netflix original series ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT , one of the smartly written and funniest sitcom ever made. Although i don't have a frozen banana stand like them, i tried making these at home and trust me it work wonders..
Swirled in melted chocolate that hardens in the fridge, these little frozen bananas are quick, easy and ready to be nibbled with all kinds of toppings! For me i chose, coconut and sprinkles, but you can coat yours with whatever you like.
Serve them at your next summer celebrations and watch them fly off the tray. They are not only easy to make but healthy, sinless and just under 25 calories.
Ripe-firm bananas - 2
Sticks/Skewers/Toothpicks
Semi-sweet chocolate chips - 1 cup
Oil - 1 tbsp
Sprinkles/chopped nuts for coating
Method
- Line the baking sheet or a plate with aluminium foil.
- Cut the bananas into 3-4 inch pieces.
- Insert the sticks into each banana piece.
- Place the bananas on the baking sheet and freeze them until firm but not frozen. This will take about an hour.
- In a medium microwave safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips and oil in 10 seconds increments stirring between each until melted.
- Adding oil helps to lower the viscosity of the chocolate which therefore prevents from forming too thick layer over the banana.
- Then remove bananas from the freezer. Taking one banana at a time, dip it into the melted chocolate till it is completely covered. shake off excess chocolate.
- Roll these chocolate coated bananas in the chopped nuts mixture, coconut or any sprinkles of your choice.
- Place them back on the baking sheet and freeze for few hours.
- Before serving remove it from the freezer and keep in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
- They can be stored in an airtight container into the freezer for about a week.
