Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas, firm but not mushy
- 8 ounces (225 g) dark chocolate chips (70% cacao preferred)
- 1 tablespoon (14 g) unsalted butter
- Colorful sprinkles (nonpareils or jimmies)
- Optional: pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Peel and slice bananas into ½-inch (1.25 cm) thick rounds. Arrange in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze banana slices for at least 1 hour until firm but not rock solid.
- Melt dark chocolate chips and unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy, or melt over a double boiler on low heat.
- Using tongs or a fork, dip each frozen banana slice into the melted chocolate, coating evenly. Let excess chocolate drip off gently.
- Immediately sprinkle coated banana bites with colorful sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
- Place dipped banana bites back onto parchment paper and freeze for another 1-2 hours until fully firm and creamy inside.
- Serve chilled straight from the freezer.
Notes
Work quickly when dipping bananas to prevent thawing. Reheat chocolate gently if it thickens. Freeze banana slices first to ensure chocolate sets properly. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and use vegan chocolate chips. Store in airtight container in freezer up to 2 weeks.
