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

- 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.

Step 6: Freeze Until Firm
- Place the tray in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate is completely set.
