I made this Vegan Frozen Banana Bites for my family’s Sunday brunch last month. The chocolate shell stayed crisp over the banana, and my nephew loved them.
Easy Vegan Frozen Banana Bites Recipe
These banana bites are made by freezing banana slices, dipping them in vegan chocolate, and then refreezing them until solid. The process takes about 30 minutes, including preparation and freezing time, and serves as a delightful snack or dessert for hot days.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced into 1-inch rounds
- 1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smooth melting)
- Toppings: crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or vegan sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into 1-inch rounds. Arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dairy-free chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted.
- Dip the Bananas: Using a fork or toothpick, dip each banana slice into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Return the coated slices to the baking sheet.
- Add Optional Toppings: If desired, sprinkle crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or vegan sprinkles on top of the chocolate before it hardens.
- Freeze the Bites: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze the banana bites for at least 20 minutes or until the chocolate is set.
- Serve: Once frozen, enjoy the banana bites immediately or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for later.
