Frozen chocolate & banana bites
These delightful frozen bites feel like a naughty snack but pack an impressive nutritional punch. Whether you’re hosting a BBQ for a crowd or simply at home with the kids this summer, these are brilliant to keep in the freezer and take out when you fancy a cooling, sweet yet healthy snack! Simple swaps include nut butter instead of tahini and milk chocolate instead of dark.
Servings: Approx 10 bites Time: 1.5 hours including freezing time
Ingredients
2 Bananas, peeled
10 tsp Tahini
Pinch of cinnamon
50g 70-85% chocolate
Toasted sesame seeds
Method
- Line a small tray or tupperware with baking paper that can fit in the freezer.
- Slice the bananas into discs about 1cm thick and divide into matching-sized pairs.
- Spoon 1 tsp of tahini onto one of the slices and place the other slice on top.
- Do this for all of the pairs then place on the lined tray and sprinkle with a little cinnamon
- Place in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Meanwhile, break up the dark chocolate and melt it in a bain marie (i.e. place a bowl (for the chocolate) over a pan of simmering water).
- When the banana slices are set, remove from the freezer, dunk in the chocolate and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
- Place them back on the tray and pop in the freezer for at least 1 hour.
- Store in the freezer and remove 5-10 minutes before you want to devour them! You want them soft enough to bite into but not so soft that the chocolate starts to melt!
