What you'll need
Everything here is a real ingredient you can find in a normal shop. Nothing artificial, no powders pretending to be sugar. Here is the full list, with the quantities I actually use.
- 3 ripe but firm bananas, cut into thick coins
- 1/3 cup natural peanut or almond butter
- Vera's Honey-Cacao Chocolate (see B02):** 1/2 cup melted coconut oil + 1/3 cup cacao powder + 3 tbsp honey, whisked smooth
- Toppings: crushed peanuts, coconut, flaky salt
How to make it
Sandwich a little nut butter between pairs of banana coins; freeze on a lined tray 1 hour until firm.
Whisk the honey-cacao chocolate until glossy.
Dip each frozen banana sandwich into the chocolate — it sets almost instantly on the cold banana.
Sprinkle with peanuts, coconut or flaky salt before it hardens.
Freeze another hour. Serve straight from the freezer.
Storage
Keep it covered in the fridge and it will hold for three to four days. If you are making it ahead, hold back any fresh topping until just before you serve so nothing goes soft. Most of these freeze well too, wrapped tight, for up to three months.
