Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips

1 tablespoon coconut oil (or melted butter)

1/4 cup crushed nuts (optional, for topping)

A pinch of sea salt (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas:

    - Begin by peeling the ripe bananas. Slice them into thin rounds about 1/4 inch thick. Arrange the banana slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring that they do not touch each other. Freeze the slices for approximately 2 hours, or until they are completely solid.

      Make the Yogurt Mixture:

        - In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup for a vegan version), and vanilla extract. Using a whisk or spatula, blend the ingredients until the mixture is creamy and smooth. Set this delicious yogurt mixture aside for later use.

          Melt the Chocolate:

            - In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Be cautious not to overheat, as burnt chocolate can become grainy.

              Assemble the Twists:

                - Once the banana slices are frozen solid, remove them from the freezer. Take each frozen slice and gently dip half of it into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off. If you desire a nutty crunch, dip the chocolate-coated side into the crushed nuts before proceeding.

                  Layer with Yogurt:

                    - On top of the chocolate-coated banana slice, spread a generous layer of the yogurt mixture. Gently press another banana slice (the one that isn’t coated in chocolate) on top to create a delightful banana sandwich. Repeat this process with the remaining banana slices until all are assembled.

                      Freeze Again:

                        - Return the assembled banana twists to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze the banana twists for an additional hour, allowing them to firm up nicely.

                          Serve:

                            - Once thoroughly frozen, remove the twists from the freezer. Let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes for easier handling. For an extra touch, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the twists just before serving. Enjoy your cool and refreshing Frozen Yogurt Chocolate Banana Twists!
