Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Bananas
  • 3 bananas Ripe, sliced into rounds and patted dry.
Peanut butter
  • 0.5 cup peanut butter Use as a dollop between banana rounds.
Chocolate
  • 1 cup chocolate chips Melt with coconut oil for a smooth coating.
  • 1 tsp coconut oil Stir into melted chocolate chips for a thinner dip.

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Assemble the banana sandwiches
  1. Slice the bananas into rounds and pat dry with a paper towel, then set aside in an even layer so the peanut butter won’t slide.
  2. Spread a small dollop of peanut butter onto half the banana rounds, then sandwich with the remaining rounds to form bite-size pairs.
Freeze until firm
  1. Freeze the banana sandwiches on a parchment-lined sheet pan for at least 1 hour until firm to hold their shape during dipping.
Make the chocolate coating
  1. Melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy.
Dip and refreeze
  1. Dip each frozen banana sandwich into the melted chocolate, making sure it’s coated on the outside, then return to the sheet pan.
  2. Freeze until the chocolate hardens, about 15 minutes, then serve straight from the freezer.

Notes

Pro tip: Freeze the banana sandwiches solid before dipping so they hold together in the warm chocolate, and work quickly while dipping because the frozen banana can start to soften at room temperature. Store in the freezer in a sealed container for up to 2 months. No thawing needed—eat them cold for the best texture. For a dairy-free swap, use dairy-free chocolate chips (keep the coconut oil the same).
