A creamy and healthy frozen treat made from ripe bananas, peanut butter, and chocolate, combining delightful flavors for a guilt-free dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large ripe bananas, peeled and frozen solid (at least 4 hours, preferably overnight)
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted peanuts, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips (for coating)
  • Optional: Sea salt flakes for sprinkling
  • Optional: Wooden skewers or popsicle sticks

Instructions

  1. Prepare Peanut Butter Swirl: In a small bowl, combine peanut butter and honey/maple syrup. Mix well until smooth. Stir in chopped peanuts and set aside.
  2. Blend Frozen Bananas: Cut frozen bananas into chunks. Add to a powerful blender. Blend in short bursts, scraping down sides. Add a tablespoon or two of milk if needed. Continue blending until smooth and creamy.
  3. Swirl Peanut Butter: Add dollops of peanut butter swirl to the blended banana mixture. Gently pulse the blender a few times to create swirls. Be careful not to over-blend.
  4. Prepare Chocolate Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine milk chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
  5. Assemble: Scoop banana mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Insert skewers if desired. Freeze for at least 30 minutes until firm.
  6. Dip and Decorate: Dip frozen banana scoops into melted chocolate, coating completely. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and sea salt flakes (if using).
  7. Final Freeze: Return coated bananas to the baking sheet and freeze for at least 15 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
  8. Serve: Serve immediately for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use a powerful blender for best results.
  • Cut bananas into smaller chunks before blending to prevent overheating the blender.
  • Don’t over-blend the peanut butter swirl into the banana mixture; you want distinct swirls.
  • Coconut oil thins the chocolate, making it easier to coat the bananas.
  • Freeze banana scoops before dipping to prevent melting.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week.
  • Experiment with different types of chocolate, toppings, and nut butters.
  • For a vegan version, use dairy-free chocolate chips and maple syrup.
