CHOC-BANANA ICES

My daughter loves these . . .  and lets face it, when you have kids, there needs to be the occasional treat food available . . .

and these are a great alternative to shop bought ice-cream . . . and she thinks they're great because she can make them.

Directions:

Half a banana and insert stick in blunt end.
Place on non-stick paper and freeze


When banana has frozen solid you will need:

150g good quality dark chocolate
At least 1 Tbsp coconut oil - the more you put in the runnier the mixture will become.

Break up chocolate and place in glass bowl.
Microwave at 50% power no more than 30 seconds at a time
Stir in between each heating time
When just about melted, stir in coconut oil - if you keep stirring this should melt of its own accord in the warmth of the chocolate

Spoon choc mixture over the frozen banana to coat (it will harden very quickly) so if you want to put something special over it such as nuts or coconut - have it ready and do it before choc hardens.

Enjoy :-)
