Chocolate Dipped Frozen Banana Bites

July 1, 2014 By Lokness 23 Comments

These Chocolate Dipped Frozen Banana Bites are perfect little snacks with just 3 ingredients! So easy and tasty!

These days… everything is about the World Cup. Have you been watching? I grew up playing sports (volleyball), so I enjoy watching sports (basketball, soccer, volleyball etc). With US team still in the game, Bryan and I have been watching and rooting for our country. Exciting and nerve racking at the same time! Hopefully, we will have a win today! GO USA!!!

Ok now, back to the food. Frozen banana is a pretty American thing. I didn’t know such thing existed until I came to the US and Bryan made some for me. Who knows banana can be like a popsicle too? Even though I love the flavors, I found it very difficult to eat. The banana was frozen solid and hard to bite into. Ever since that time, I haven’t had a frozen banana. Recently, Bryan and I bought a box of chocolate dipped frozen banana bites from Trader Joe’s. Oh my, they were heavenly. These tasty goodness in bite sizes completely solve the problem of difficult eating. We finished them in a day and we complained about how little amount the box carried. That was when I decided to make some myself, so we can have many more. These bites are so easy to make. Melt the chocolate , dip with bananas and freeze them. They are sweet, chocolatey and healthy. Just pop them in your mouth, and you will be a happy person.

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces milk chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 medium ripe bananas (or 2 large)

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a clean and dry medium heatproof bowl, add the chocolate chips and oil. Set the bowl over a pot of 1-inch deep simmering water. Cook until the chocolate is melted and smooth, stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, quickly cut the bananas into ½-inch thick slices.
  • When the chocolate is melted, remove from heat. Let the water to continue to simmer. Add one banana slice into the chocolate. Use a fork to move the banana around gently and get it cover with chocolate completely. Lift the banana up and scrape it against the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate. Transfer the banana along with the fork to the prepared baking sheet. Slide the banana off the fork with a gentle push of a finger.
  • Repeat with the rest of the banana slices. If the chocolate get solid again, place the bowl of chocolate back on the pot of simmering water. Cook until the chocolate is loose again.
  • Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze for at least 6 hours. Once frozen, transfer the bites into a freezer container. The bites can be kept for 3 months. Serve without thawing.

Notes

  1. I have tried making these bites with both milk chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate. The milk chocolate ones is slightly sweeter, which we like. But you can definitely substitute with semi-sweet chocolate.
  2. Coconut oil can be used instead of vegetable oil. But the bites will have a hint of coconut flavor. I am not a fan.
  3. Use ripe bananas that are not overly ripped and not mushy.
  4. Tempering chocolate is not the easiest thing to do. Make sure no water gets in the chocolate. If there is water, even one drop, the chocolate will turn grainy. Make sure not to overheat the chocolate. Once the chocolate is melted and smooth, remove from heat immediately.
  5. Toppings can be added. After the banana has been dipped in chocolate, drop it in any desired topping and sprinkle with some more topping. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.

      Thanks Oana! If you haven’t had frozen banana before, you gotta try this. And of course you shouldn’t stop at just one! They are just banana. Fruit is good for you, right? 😀

    I saw a similar dessert, whole banana dipped in chocolate and decorated sprinkles, during my travel in Japan. I thought it was rather interesting, but didn’t try it though. It’s such a healthy snack to satisfy sweet craving.

      Frozen bananas usually come in the form of whole banana, so the ones you saw in Japan are the traditional ones. The taste of those are the same as these bite-sizes. You gotta try some of these bites. Sweet, chocolatey and cold. Great for summer! 🙂

    Somehow you managed to make the neatest, most beautifully dipped bananas I’ve ever seen. Whenever I do any chocolate dipping, it is a mess!
    We are also crazy about World Cup in our house. Too bad about the US though. We’d feel better with a few of your chocolate dipped banana bites, that’s for sure! : )

      Thank you for your sweet words! I have to admit that I am a bit of a perfectionist. I like my food clean and neat. When I have to do a messy style photo shoot, that is challenging for me. I keep telling myself “messy is good… messy is good…” 😛
      Yea, it is pretty sad about the US team. It is ok… We will be better 4 years later! Enjoy the semi-finals and final this week!

Growing up, I looked forward to my mom’s mango p Growing up, I looked forward to my mom’s mango pudding every summer. That creamy & soft pudding is loaded w/ tons of fresh mangoes. My version is pretty much the same, but I switch out the mango-flavored gelatin mix for fresh mangoes. It tastes incredible & brings me back to my childhood right away! It was the perfect dessert when I was a kid, and it’s still the most satisfying dessert today! 🥭

Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to is a cheeseburger w/ extra toasted bun & onion. Bryan likes his double-double w/ onion. The fries were perfectly crispy, and I like to dip them in the spread sauce. Please order me 2 fries next time!😂 How do you like your In-N-Out?
Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice Cream is creamy, little vanilla-y w/ bits of blueberries & a hint of thyme. That vibrant blueberry swirls also makes the prettiest purple color too! I made this ice cream using my blueberry thyme jam, so it’s very easy.🫐🍨

Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Thyme Jam! Sweet, lemony & earthy. A nice surprising combo, but both blueberry & thyme compliment each other really well. I once served this once w/ a slice of Basque cheesecake, & it was fantastic! The jam is good on all sort of things, like yogurt and charcuterie board. 🫐

When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cell When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cellophane Noodles in Clay Pot (沙嗲牛肉粉絲煲) definitely is up there on the top. One of my favorites to order in Hong Kong! It’s hearty & rich. That tender beef & noodles are coated w/ a savory & slightly sweet satay sauce. Little kick from the chili & the earthiness from the mushroom. Bold flavors! Please just give me a bowl of rice already! Btw, this takes only 30 mins to put together, which makes a great weeknight dish.

Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re ba Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re back! It closed down during the pandemic & eventually was selling sweet & savory pies for a while. Once we heard Maude was about to reopen, we made reservation. It’s a 9-course tasting menu w/ the focus on California cuisine this time. Everything was incredible. We chose to sit on the chef’s table & watched them plating & cooking. Precision & speed w/ lots of components. We had our many firsts, like cactus, caviar, & black truffle. Our favorites of the night were caviar w/ peas, abalone & bread w/ aged butter. We really love this place & look forward to going back soon!
