From the kitchen of Dr. Barrett

In this summer heat I am desperate for some dairy free frozen treats. I made a large batch of these bites and they didn't last long!

Ingredients:

A few very ripe bananas
Coconut oil
Cocoa powder
Vanilla
Salt

Directions:
  • Chop the bananas in to bite sized discs and place on a baking sheet covered in parchment paper
  • Place bananas in freezer until frozen solid (note don't let the bananas defrost during the following steps- may need to place back in the freezer to keep them frozen. Letting them defrost and refreeze will cause the bananas to have more of an 'ice' texture)
  • Heat coconut oil over low heat and add cocoa powder, vanilla and salt until desired flavor
  • Let 'chocolate' mixture cool and start dunking in your bananas then placing the back on baking sheet. Remember to stick whole tray back in the freezer if the bananas start getting soft.
  • It may take a few rounds of dunking and freezing to get to the desired chocolate thickness
Bonus:
  • Thin a nut butter with some coconut oil over low heat and spread over frozen bananas. 
  • Refreeze bananas and nut butter until solid
  • Continue as outlined above to coat with 'chocolate'

How much coconut oil, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt do you use?

Great question and I don't have a very satisfactory answer because I make this recipe to taste. It depends on how strong you want the chocolate to be, some people find a lot of cocoa powder to be bitter. I start with melted coconut oil and add cocoa powder, vanilla and salt to taste. I typically use a very small amount of vanilla and salt but that is just my preference.
