Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to prepare for freezing the bananas.
- Carefully peel the ripe bananas and cut them in half crosswise to create 4 equal banana segments.
- Insert wooden popsicle sticks or skewers into the flat end of each banana piece, ensuring they are secure and centered.
- Spread a generous layer of Nutella evenly over each banana piece, covering the surface completely.
- Gently press fresh raspberries onto the Nutella-covered bananas, ensuring they adhere well and are distributed evenly.
- Place the prepared banana pieces on the parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for approximately 15-20 minutes to help the Nutella set.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil, then microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until fully melted and smooth.
- Remove bananas from the freezer and carefully dip each piece into the melted chocolate, ensuring complete coverage.
- Allow excess chocolate to drip off, then return the chocolate-coated bananas to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet back in the freezer for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden completely.
- Remove from freezer, let sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the decadent combination of Nutella, raspberries, and chocolate-covered bananas.
Tips
- Choose the Right Bananas: Make sure to use ripe but firm bananas for the best texture. Overripe bananas may become too mushy when frozen.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to experiment with other toppings like crushed nuts, sprinkles, or even a drizzle of caramel for added flavor and crunch.
- Melt Chocolate Smoothly: When melting chocolate chips, be careful not to overheat them. Stirring between intervals ensures a smooth, glossy finish.
- Freezing Time: Don’t rush the freezing process! Allowing the bananas to freeze properly helps the Nutella and chocolate set beautifully, giving you that perfect bite.
- Serving Suggestions: For an extra touch, serve these treats on a colorful platter and garnish with additional fresh raspberries or a dusting of powdered sugar.
