Chocobananos
Chocobananos are basically chocolate bananas, frozen, or they're also called chocolate covered banana pops. whichever way you know them, they’re fun to make and make for the perfect summer snack!
Equipment
- 4 popsicle-like sticks
Ingredients
- 2 ripe but firm bananas
- 2 cups of chocolate chips, melted
Decor
- 1 tsp of sprinkles
- 2 tbsps of shredded coconut
- 2 tbsps of crushed peanuts
- 2 tbsps of crushed Maria cookies (about 5-6 cookies)
Instructions
- Peel and cut bananas in halves. Then insert a popsicle-like stick in the center of each one.
- Put the bananas in the freezer for 4 hours.
- Once the bananas are frozen, you can prepare the chocolate coating.
- Melt your chocolate using a bain-marie method. Place a heat-resistant bowl (i.e., borosilicate glass, ceramic, steel) over a pot with hot water. The bowl should submerge only halfway in the water so that your chocolate chips don't get wet.
- Use a protective glove or towel to handle the pot, as it will be hot. Once the chocolate is melted and uniform, you can turn off the heat.
- Introduce one banana at a time in the chocolate, spinning it and helping yourself with a spatula to fully cover the banana.
- Take excess out with the spatula and decorate with your favorite toppings.
- Place the chocobananos in a glass where they can stand still without touching each other. Then put them in the freezer for 5 minutes.
