Chocolate Covered Frozen Bananas

Ingredients

2 ripe firm bananas

340 gm dark chocolate chips or semi-sweet bar chocolate, cut into small pieces

4 tbsp refined coconut oil

Steps

1- To avoid sticking, cut the banana into slices and arrange them on a tray covered with parchment paper. Once the bananas are frozen firm, place the tray in the freezer. Approximately two hours.

2- In the meantime, put the coconut oil and chocolate chips in a measuring cup or bowl that is suitable to use in the microwave. After 60 seconds in the microwave, mix. Stir the sauce continuously until the chocolate has melted and turned shiny. Let the chocolate cool on its own.

3- Once the bananas are frozen, coat each one from top to bottom with the cooled chocolate.

4- Before placing the slice on a parchment or waxed paper-lined tray, let any extra chocolate drip off. Return the covered slices to the freezer immediately afterwards to solidify.

5- After the bits have solidified, you may move them to a zip-lock freezer bag or freezer-safe storage container.

Chocolate Tiffin Recipe

Ingredients

200 g salted butter

100 g Tate And Lyle Caster Sugar 

200 g plain chocolate

100 g raisins 

300 g digestive biscuits 

For the topping

200 g milk chocolate, roughly broken up 

¼ tsp vegetable oil

Steps

1- In a medium pot, place the butter and slowly heat it until it melts. After adding the chocolate and stirring over very low heat until it melts and the liquid becomes smooth, stir in the sugar.

2- After adding the raisins to the pan, add the biscuits to the pan three to four at a time, breaking them into little chunks with your fingers. Mix thoroughly until the chocolate coats every biscuit.

3- Press the mixture into a 20cm square tray that has been lined with baking paper, making sure it's smooth and level. Allow it to sit for a few hours in the refrigerator (or freeze for 20 minutes).

4- Melt the milk chocolate and oil in a bowl over a pan of gently simmering water, or microwave in 30-second increments, to form the topping. Spread the mixture over the tiffin and allow it to set again before slicing it into squares.
