Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe bananas approx. 360g peeled
- 200 g natural peanut butter ¾ cup
- 100 g frozen raspberries ¾ cup
- 50 g shelled roasted pistachios roughly chopped (⅓ cup)
- 200 g dark chocolate 70% cocoa or higher, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Line a small baking tray or chopping board with baking paper.
- Peel the bananas and slice each one in half lengthways. Arrange them side by side on the baking paper.
- Place another sheet of baking paper on top and gently press down with the base of another baking tray or a chopping board until the bananas form one even layer, about 1cm thick.
- Spread the peanut butter evenly over the flattened bananas.
- Scatter over half of the frozen raspberries and half of the chopped pistachios, pressing them gently into the peanut butter.
- Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water (or in the microwave in 20-second bursts), stirring until smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer and spread it evenly to cover.
- Sprinkle over the remaining raspberries and pistachios while the chocolate is still melted.
- Transfer to the freezer for 2–3 hours, or until completely firm.
- Remove from the freezer and leave for 2–3 minutes before cutting or breaking into 12 pieces. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month.
