Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 bananas peeled
  • 1 ½ cups chocolate chips white chocolate
  • 2 teaspoon matcha powder
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil optional, for smoother chocolate
  • ½ cup pistachios finely chopped

Method
 

Prepare the Bananas
  1. Peel the bananas and cut them in half if desired. Insert popsicle sticks into the cut ends and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
  2. Freeze for 30–60 minutes until firm.
Make the Matcha Chocolate
  1. Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl.
  2. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and melted.
  3. Whisk in the matcha powder until fully combined and no lumps remain.
Dip and Decorate
  1. Dip each frozen banana into the matcha chocolate, rotating to coat evenly.
  2. Immediately sprinkle with chopped pistachios before the chocolate sets, or you can put them into the chocolate before you dip the banana in.
Freeze
  1. Return the bananas to the parchment-lined tray and freeze for another 15–20 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
Serve immediately or store in a freezer-safe container.
