Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

1 cup Greek yogurt (choose plain or vanilla for flavor)

¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust this to taste)

1 tablespoon instant coffee or espresso powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

½ cup mixed chopped nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, or hazelnuts)

Dark chocolate (for coating, optional)

Unsweetened shredded coconut (for rolling, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Begin by peeling the ripe bananas and placing them in a mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash the bananas until they reach a smooth yet slightly chunky consistency.

    Mix Ingredients: To the mashed bananas, add the Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, honey (or maple syrup), instant coffee, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir everything together thoroughly until you have a creamy, chocolaty mixture that is well combined.

      Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and place it in the freezer for about 30 minutes. This step will help the mixture firm up, making it easier to mold into truffles.

        Shape the Truffles: After chilling, remove the bowl from the freezer. Using your hands or a cookie scoop, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls (approximately 1 inch in diameter). Arrange the truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet as you go.

          Coat the Truffles (optional): If you decide to coat your truffles, melt dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring in between until fully melted and smooth. Dip each truffle in the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off before returning them to the baking sheet. Alternatively, you can roll some of the truffles in shredded coconut for a delightful texture and flavor twist.

            Freeze the Truffles: Once you have shaped and optionally coated all the truffles, place the baking sheet in the freezer. Allow them to freeze for at least 1 hour, or until they are completely solid.

              Serve and Enjoy: After freezing, take the truffles out and let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy these delectable, healthy treats straight from the freezer, relishing the delightful combination of banana, mocha, and yogurt!
