Sometimes, having an after-dinner dessert rounds out a meal. A square of dark chocolate makes for an excellent choice that isn’t overly sweet or rich in calories. For another excellent post-dinner treat, try these chocolate-dipped banana bites, plain or with hazelnuts or freeze-dried strawberries.
Serving Amount
Ingredients
2 bananas, sliced to ¼ inch thick
1⁄4 cup chopped hazelnuts
1⁄4 cup chopped freeze-dried strawberries
1⁄2 cup dark chocolate chips (50-60 percent cocoa)
Instructions
Step 1
Heat a cup of water in a saucepan over medium heat. Place a larger bowl with chocolate chips on top and allow for the steam to heat the chocolate slowly.
Step 2
Using food tweezers or tongs, dip half of the banana in the melted chocolate, then dip in hazelnuts, freeze-dried strawberries or leave plain. Put on parchment paper until chocolate has solidified, then keep frozen in a freezer safe container.
