Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, sliced into ½-inch thick rounds

1 cup coconut yogurt (dairy-free options available)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)

½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut

A pinch of salt

Optional toppings: dark chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or cacao nibs

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the coconut yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring the sweetener is well incorporated.

    Coat the Banana Slices: Take each banana slice and dip it into the yogurt mixture. Make sure to coat both sides thoroughly. You can use a fork or your fingers for this step, but handle the bananas gently to prevent them from breaking apart.

      Top with Shredded Coconut: Once coated, lay each banana round flat on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Generously sprinkle unsweetened shredded coconut on top of each banana slice, pressing down lightly to help the coconut adhere.

        Freeze: After coating and topping all banana rounds, place the baking sheet in the freezer. Allow them to freeze for approximately 2-3 hours or until they are completely firm and solid.

          Serve: Once frozen, carefully remove the rounds from the parchment paper. Serve them immediately for a refreshing treat. If desired, drizzle with melted dark chocolate or add your choice of toppings such as chopped nuts or cacao nibs for an extra burst of flavor.

            Store any leftovers: Should there be any uneaten rounds, transfer them to an airtight container and store them in the freezer for up to one week to keep them fresh.
