Equipment
- baking sheet
- wax paper
Instructions
- Peel the bananas and cut them in half to obtain 10 banana pieces.
- Skewer the cut end of each banana with a wooden stick, inserting it until the banana is steady.
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper or, failing that, parchment, place the bananas on the baking sheet and place them in the freezer for about 1½ hours or until firm.
- Once the bananas are firm, pour the grated chocolate into a mixing bowl and melt it in a bain-marie.
- Pour each chosen garnish into a deep dish or shallow bowl and place them near the bain-marie.
Chocolate bananas
- When the chocolate is melted and the toppings are ready, take the bananas out of the freezer.
- Hold a banana over the melted chocolate.
- Using a small ladle or large serving spoon, drizzle a generous amount of chocolate over the banana, swirling it around and pouring in more chocolate until it's all full and generously covered.
- It's important to work very quickly, as the chocolate starts to set soon after touching the frozen banana.
- Allow the excess chocolate to drip into the bowl.
- Quickly move the banana to one of the topping dishes and, using a spoon, sprinkle any topping of your choice over the banana, letting the excess fall back into the dish.
- Place the banana back on the baking sheet and repeat the same process until all the bananas are coated in chocolate and your chosen topping.
- Serve immediately.
- If they are not eaten on the spot, keep them in the freezer in an airtight container or a freezer bag with zip and, once out of the freezer, leave them at room temperature for 15 minutes before enjoying them.
Bananas in yogurt
- Mix the yogurt.
- Dip the frozen bananas into the yogurt, using a spoon to coat each banana evenly.
- Let the excess yogurt drip off.
- Quickly move the banana to one of the topping dishes and, using a spoon, sprinkle any topping of your choice over the banana, letting the excess fall back into the dish.
- Place the banana back on the baking sheet and repeat the same process until all the bananas are coated in yogurt and your chosen topping.
- Freeze immediately for about 3 hours or until the yogurt has hardened.
- If they are not consumed at the end of these 3 hours, keep them in the freezer in an airtight container or a freezer bag with zip and, taking them out of the freezer, leave them at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before enjoying them.
