Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 handful of your favorite chocolate (approx. 50-70g)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by peeling the banana. Insert a popsicle stick or wooden skewer about two-thirds of the way into one end of the banana. This will serve as a handle for dipping and eating.
Step 2
Place the chocolate, broken into small pieces or chips, into a heatproof bowl. Using your favorite type of chocolate, like semi-sweet, milk, or dark, will influence the final flavor.
Step 3
Prepare a double boiler by filling a larger saucepan with about one-third of water and bringing it to a gentle simmer. Place a heatproof bowl that fits snugly over the saucepan into the larger bowl without touching the water.
Step 4
Set the bowl of chocolate over the simmering water. Stir the chocolate gently and continuously until it is completely melted and smooth. The steam from the hot water will gently melt the chocolate without scorching it.
Step 5
Hold the banana by the stick and carefully dip it into the melted chocolate, rotating it to coat evenly. You can also use a spoon to drizzle or spread the chocolate over the banana for complete coverage. Aim for a smooth, consistent layer.
Step 6
Place the chocolate-coated banana on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set slightly. Once the chocolate has firmed up a bit, place each banana in a separate plastic bag or wrap tightly with plastic wrap, and then freeze for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
Step 7
Voila! Your delicious chocolate-covered frozen bananas are ready to enjoy!
Step 8
Because these are frozen, the chocolate coating will be quite hard. To enjoy them best, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before biting, or gently allow the chocolate to melt slightly before taking a bite for a softer texture.
Step 9
Enjoy your delightfully cool and sweet chocolate-covered banana! Take a satisfying crunch and savor the deliciousness. Enjoy!
