Ingredients

  • large banana

  • 12 ounces chocolate dark melted
  • 1.5 cups nuts coarsely chopped

Equipment

  • bowl
  • paper towels
  • whisk
  • baking pan
  • popsicle sticks

Directions

  1. Slice bananas in half and carefully mount on Popsicle sticks.
  2. Place bananas on a tray, plate or baking dish in the freezer for 2 hours or until firm. You can freeze up to overnight. Do not cover bananas as this will cause ice crystals to form.
  3. In a medium bowl whisk together melted chocolate and coconut oil until thoroughly combined.
  4. Place nuts in a wide, shallow plate or pie plate (if using).
  5. Remove bananas from freezer. If ice crystals have formed on the bananas use a paper towel to gently brush them off. Dip banana in chocolate and swirl to cover. Alternately you can use a spoon to help cover and ensure even chocolate distribution.
  6. Roll bananas in chopped nuts.
  7. Let cool for 1 minute, Then place on a serving platter. If you don't plan on serving the bananas immediately, return them to the freezer for up to a few hours. If serving from freezer, place on plate and allow to thaw for 10 minutes before serving.
