For making the Matcha Banana Bark, here are the essential tools you’ll need:

• Baking sheet – To arrange the banana slices and freeze the bark
• Parchment paper – To prevent sticking and make cleanup easy
• Microwave-safe bowl or double boiler – For melting the white chocolate smoothly

• Sifter (for matcha) – To remove lumps and ensure a smooth, even mix
• Freezer-safe container – To store the bark and keep it fresh

Here is the full Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 3–4 bananas (sliced into thin rounds)
• 200g (7 oz) white chocolate
• 1–2 tsp matcha powder (sifted)

Toppings (optional):

• 30g (¼ cup) freeze-dried strawberry slices
• 10g (1 tbsp) chia seeds
• 15g (2 tbsp) shredded coconut
• 20g (2 tbsp) crushed nuts (almonds, pistachios, or cashews)

Directions:

Step 1: Slice the Bananas

• Peel 3–4 ripe bananas and slice them into thin, even rounds (about ¼ inch thick).
• Arrange the slices tightly in a square or rectangular shape on a parchment-lined tray. Make sure there are no big gaps!

Step 2: Melt the White Chocolate

• In a heatproof bowl, melt 200g (7 oz) of white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave.
• If using a microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.

Step 3: Mix in the Matcha

• Once melted, sift in 1–2 teaspoons of matcha powder and whisk until fully combined.
• This will give the chocolate a beautiful green color and a hint of earthy flavor.

Step 4: Pour Over the Bananas

• Drizzle or spread the matcha white chocolate mixture evenly over the banana slices.
• Use a spatula to make sure every banana is coated.

Step 5: Add Toppings

• Sprinkle freeze-dried strawberry slices over the top for extra crunch and flavor.
• Add any other toppings you love, like chia seeds or shredded coconut.

Step 6: Freeze Until Firm

• Place the tray in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate is completely set.

Step 7: Break Into Pieces & Enjoy!

• Once frozen, remove from the freezer and break into irregular pieces like classic chocolate bark.
• Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
