Chocolate Dipped Frozen Bananas

July 29, 2013 by Joy the Baker 114 Comments

I feel like every blog should have a safeword.

We need a word that says, ‘Um… why are you posting way less on your blog these days. Are you pregnant?’  No.

We need a word that says ‘I know you’re phoning it in with that compilation of past posts post’.  It’s cool.

We need a word that says ‘Cool, you’re engaged!  I’m going to unfollow you on Pinterest immediately’.  It’s nothing personal.  It’s a wedding thing.

We need a word that says ‘Did you really just post a recipe for ICE!?’.  I’m sorry.

I was going to have our safeword here be ‘Lasagna Grilled Cheese‘… but we can’t use that anymore because that’s a thing now.  Our safeword definitely can’t be ‘Chocolate Dripped Bananas’ because that’s obviously a thing.  Maybe our safeword should be ‘gorilla pants’… until I get a pair.  I’ll let you know when that happens.  Until then, ‘gorilla pants’ is our safeword.

I’m really glad we had this talk.

Let’s talk about toppings.

I’m trying to keep it classy.  It took everything in me not to throw colored sprinkles in the mix.  Classing it up!

Salted pistachios are shelled and coarsely chopped.  Chili-rubbed almonds are (snacked on) and coarsely chopped.  Cocoa nibs are appreciated for their dark and bitter crunch.  We’re ready to sprinkle!

IMG_1074

Melted chocolate is mandatory… otherwise we just have bananas on sticks, and what fun is that?

IMG_1101

Dip and sprinkle.  Dip and sprinkle.

IMG_1104

I love when messy things are also pretty.  I think this only happens when chocolate and pistachios are involved.  My kitchen is messy… and not so pretty at all.

These summer treats are exactly as advertised:  chocolate and chilled, sprinkled bananas.  Frozen bananas are super satisfying… like nature’s popsicles.  Covered in chocolate and salty nuts,  I mean….

You know the deal.

Chocolate Dipped Frozen Bananas

Print this Recipe!

12 ounces dark chocolate, melted over a double boiler with 1 tablespoon coconut oil

3 large bananas, cut into thirds

popsicle sticks

chopped salted pistachios

chopped spiced or smoked almonds

cocoa nibs

Melt chocolate over a double boiler (or in the microwave, if you prefer) with coconut oil.  Stir until smooth, glossy, and entirely melted.

Insert a popsicle stick into one end of each banana piece.  Dip each banana into the warm melted chocolate.  Shake off excess chocolate as best you can.  Place dipped bananas on a parchment lined baking sheet. Sprinkle generously with chopped pistachios, chopped almonds, or cocoa nibs.  Place in the freezer to harden and set.

When frozen through wrap individually or enjoy immediately.

    Just made some with pistachios. Amazing. I’m afraid I’m going to have to eat every one of them. I mean, I’ll spread them out over a few days, but they’re pretty much as good as gone. Unless I get company. Then I will close the blinds and lock the door and gorge myself on them all at once so nobody else gets any.

    You are the best food blogger around, Joy. I just had to say it. I don’t read food blogs because I’m not That Kind of Girl, but yours draws me time and time again because of your awesome voice. You’re a legend.

    That is all.

    […] Chocolate Dipped Frozen Bananas by Joy The Baker This dessert is another childhood favorite, that as an adult I have rediscovered and thoroughly enjoyed. It’s a perfect kid’s treat, not particularly unhealthy and very, very simple to make, but it’s also fun for adults and you can do a lot more with these than just dip them in chocolate. This particular recipe gives you some topping ideas, but feel free to get creative! In addition to what’s mentioned, I really like adding shredded coconut, or if I’m feeling particularly indulgent, chopped Heath bar! It’s an especially fun project to do with your children, and definitely a dessert you can feel good about serving. […]

Just tryna get the most cheese on my most simple s Just tryna get the most cheese on my most simple small-batch bagel recipe. Get in on this with me: ⁣
⁣
2 Easy No Yeast Bagels⁣
1/2 cup self-rising flour⁣
4 tablespoons greek yogurt (plus a teaspoon or two more if needed)
1 large egg, beaten for egg wash⁣
1/3 - 1/2 cup grated gouda or gruyere⁣
Everything bagel seasoning⁣
3 tablespoons baking soda with 2 cups of boiling water. ⁣
⁣
Place a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat oven to 375 degrees F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray the paper lightly with nonstick spray. ⁣
⁣
In a small bowl, use a firm spatula to work together the flour and yogurt. Add a few teaspoons of yogurt if it feels dry and knead into a cohesive ball for 5 minutes or so. Sprinkle with a bit more flour if it gets overly sticky. Cover with a damp paper towel and gather your toppings. ⁣
⁣
Divide dough in two and roll each piece into a roughly 8-inch rope. Bring the ends around and pinch into a circle. ⁣
⁣
Sprinkle the bottom of the prepared pan with grated cheese in two spots.  Pour boiling water over the baking soda and float each bagel in the water for 20 or so seconds.  Use a slotted spot or spatula to transfer the bagels on top of the cheese.  Brush lightly with egg. Sprinkle with more cheese and everything bagel seasoning. ⁣
⁣
Bake for 20 - 22 minutes until deeply golden and bubbling.  Allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and smearing with cream cheese.
