4 medium ripe but firm bananas200 g dark chocolate (min. 60% cocoa)150 ml store-bought caramel sauce0.5 tsp sea salt flakes (optional)

Steps

Preparation

Peel the bananas, then cut them into slices about 2-3 cm thick. Arrange the banana slices on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper and place them in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to firm up slightly.

Melt Chocolate

Break the dark chocolate into pieces and melt it over a double boiler or in the microwave until completely smooth. Be careful not to burn it.

Dip and Freeze

Remove the banana slices from the freezer. Dip each slice into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Place them back on the parchment paper, then drizzle with caramel sauce. You can also sprinkle a little sea salt flakes if you enjoy the salted caramel flavor. Return to the freezer for at least 45-60 minutes, or until completely frozen solid.

Serve

Take the frozen banana bites out of the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving, allowing them to soften slightly for easier biting. Enjoy!

Extra Tips

► Use ripe but still firm bananas for easier slicing and to prevent them from falling apart.

► If you don't have caramel sauce, you can make homemade salted caramel for an even more delicious treat.

► Experiment with different toppings like chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or colorful sprinkles.
