Frozen Banana, Tahini, Dark Chocolate & Sesame Bites
These delightful frozen bites feel like a naughty snack but pack an impressive nutritional punch. Whether you’re hosting a BBQ for a crowd or simply at home with the kids this summer, these are brilliant to keep in the freezer and take out when you fancy a cooling sweet snack in this warmer weather. Some simple swaps include nut butter instead of tahini, milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate, and hemp seeds instead of sesame.
Servings: Approx 10 bites
Time: 1.5 hours including freezing time
Ingredients
2 bananas, peeled
10 tsp tahini
pinch of cinnamon
50g 70-85% chocolate
toasted sesame seeds
Method
Line a small tray or tupperware with baking paper that can fit in the freezer.
Slice the bananas into discs about 1cm thick and divide them into matching-sized pairs.
Spoon 1 tsp of tahini onto one of the slices and place the other slice on top (depending on the consistency of the tahini this may be a bit slippy so be patient!)
Do this for all of the pairs then place them straight on the lined tray and sprinkle with a little cinnamon.
Place in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up.
Meanwhile, break up the dark chocolate and melt it in a bain-marie.
When the banana slices are set, remove from the freezer, dunk in the melted chocolate and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
Place them back on the tray and pop in the freezer for at least 1 hour or until you’re ready to enjoy.
Store in the freezer and remove 5-10 minutes before you want to devour them - you want them soft enough to bite into but not so soft that the chocolate starts to melt.
