Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 to 6 servings
Ingredients
  • 2 bananas, thickly sliced (1/2 to 1-inch slices)
  • ½ pound strawberries
  • ½ cup unsweetened dairy-free yogurt alternative
  • ½ tablespoon melted coconut oil (optional; it helps the yogurt set up better)
  • Sweetener, as needed to taste (I use 8 to 10 drops of stevia; can omit if using a somewhat sweet yogurt)
  • Toppings (dairy-free crushed graham crackers, regular or cocoa crispy rice cereal, finely chopped dark chocolate, mini chocolate chips, crushed whole grain cereal, etc)
Instructions
  1. Place the banana slices and strawberries on a sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread them out so they are not touching one another. Freeze until solid (2 hours or overnight).
  2. Place the yogurt in a small bowl. If using the coconut oil then let the yogurt come to room temperature, but do not heat it. Whisk in the coconut oil, if using. Taste test, and add sweetener to taste, if desired.
  3. Place the desired toppings in individual bowls.
  4. Remove the fruit from the freezer and dip each piece in the yogurt, roll in the toppings, and place back on tray or silicone baking mat. I hold the strawberries by their stems and stab each frozen banana slice with a toothpick for easy dipping and rolling.
  5. Place the dipped fruit back in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes to set-up. If frozen for longer, let the fruit sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to soften a touch.
Notes
Other Summer Fruit Options: Blueberries, Blackberries, Raspberries or Fruit Slices (peaches, apricots, or nectarines)
