Frozen Bananas. Luscious Ice Cream-Like Desserts

PB ‘Nana Cream Bites
I hes­i­tate to even call this a recipe, as it’s so basic it’s really more of a guide­line. These cold morsels of nom­ness con­tain the tri­fecta of fla­vor– banana, peanut but­ter and choco­late. You can always sub­sti­tute a dif­fer­ent nut butter.

2 large bananas
1/4 cup nat­ural peanut but­ter
1/2 cup choco­late chips
2 tbsp-1/4 cup milk of choice

1. Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper or parch­ment.

2. Slice bananas into coins about 1/2–3/4 inch thick. 

3, Spread a lit­tle dol­lop of peanut but­ter on top of each one. 

4. In a small bowl, com­bine the choco­late chips and milk (remem­ber, less is more). 

    Microwave in 15 sec­ond incre­ments until you can whisk them together. You want it to be a dipable con­sis­tency, not spread­able. 

    (Add a splash more milk if nec­es­sary. )

5. Dip the banana chunks using a fork as a lit­tle chocolate-coating fork­lift, dip­ping them into the melted choco­late. 

6. Place choco­late coated bananas on the pre­pared sheet and place in freezer until com­pletely frozen (3–5 hours). 

7. Remove frozen banana chunks from the sheet and store in a freezer container.

FROZEN BANANA BITES
What you'll need . . .

2 large bananas
1/4 to 1/3 cup vegan chocolate chips
1/4 to 1/3 cup natural peanut butter
Unsweetened coconut flakes
Method . . .

Set out a large plate or bowl with a piece of parchment or wax paper on it.
Cut up the bananas into good-sized chunks. Each banana should give you around 5 to 6 pieces.
Heat the peanut butter and chocolate chips in the microwave on high for about a minute. Then stir until smooth.
Dip the banana pieces in the chocolate-peanut butter mixture. Lay them out leaving some space between them on the parchment/wax paper. Then when you've "covered" them all, use the remaining mixture to spoon over the tops (for even more chocolate-y goodness).
Then sprinkle the unsweetened coconut flakes on top. Transfer to the freezer for about an hour until hardened.
You can enjoy them like this (but they really aren't frozen yet -- and when they're frozen, the banana tastes like vanilla ice cream) . . . I suggest then covering with some plastic wrap (or really you can do all of this in some kind of Rubbermaid container) and let freeze overnight.

BANANA -- AKA 1 INGREDIENT -- ICE CREAM(OK. It's one ingredient plus some flavors.)

What you'll need . . .

2 ripe bananas, chopped
2 tablespoons peanut butter
Handful chocolate chips
(But really ANYTHING GOES!)
Method . . .

1. Chop bananas into smallish chunks (original post called them coins) and freeze overnight on a plate.

2. Then transfer to a food processor (I think a smaller one works better) and process until bananas are in little bits (like in the photo above).

3. Then add your flavors. There's no right or wrong way to do it. No right or wrong measurements. 

4.Continue blending until smooth.
