Frozen banana and peanut bark
One of the best ways to eat bananas is to freeze them. This recipe shows you how to make this bark that can be enjoyed without very much work. With layers of frozen banana slices, peanut butter and melted chocolate, it is perfect to eat in slices or broken up and used as a topping for ice cream.
Ingredients
- 3 bananas, peeled and sliced into rounds
- 300g/10½oz milk or dark chocolate, broken into pieces
- 250g/9oz smooth peanut butter
- 150g/5½oz salted peanuts, roughly chopped
- good pinch rock salt
Method
Line a baking tray with greaseproof baking paper.
Evenly layer the banana all over the tray, making sure the slices are tightly packed. Pop into the freezer and leave for a few hours until firm.
Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave or in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water, making sure that the base of the bowl does not touch the water.
Take the baking tray out of the freezer and spread the peanut butter evenly over the top of the banana.
Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the layer of peanut butter. Sprinkle over the peanuts, then sprinkle over the salt.
Pop into the freezer and leave for a couple of hours. Remove from the freezer, leave to soften slightly then cut into bite size chunks.
