Serves: 10 to 12 bites
Ingredients
  • 1 firm but ripe banana
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (dark or milk)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • ¼ cup white chocolate chips (look for white chocolate with cocoa butter in the ingredients)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
  1. Slice the banana into thick slices. Place in a single layer on a baking dish in the freezer until solid, at least 1 hour. Leave in the freezer until the moment you’re ready to dip them in chocolate.
  2. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small bowl in the microwave, 30 seconds at a time, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly. Use a fork to dip each frozen banana slice in the chocolate coating and place on a parchment-covered surface in the freezer to firm up.
  3. Once you’ve dipped all of the slices, microwave the white chocolate chips and teaspoon of coconut oil until smooth, about 30 seconds total. Transfer to a small plastic baggie and snip a tiny bit of one corner off to make a piping bag. Pipe over the slices.
  4. These can (and should!) be eaten as soon as the chocolates harden to keep the inside frozen. You can also refreeze in a single layer and eat as you crave them straight from the freezer.
Notes
Inspired by The View from Great Island and, of course, Trader Joe's.
