5-Ingredient Freezer Choc Banana Ice-Cream Bars

Creamy chocolate banana ice cream bars with pops of crushed strawberry, made with no ice cream maker. Frozen in bags and unwrapped like a homemade ice block, they're an easy, better-for-you treat to keep in the freezer.

Prep Time: 15 Minutes + 4 Hours to Set

Cook Time: 1 Minute

Serves: 3

Ingredients:

Chocolate Banana Filling:

  • 1 banana
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 80g dark chocolate, melted

Other:

  • 6 strawberries, two per bag

Preparations:


  1. Melt the dark chocolate either in a double boiler, stirring gently over a pot of simmering water until smooth, or in the microwave, heating in 20-30 second bursts and stirring between each, until fully melted.

  2. Add the banana, peanut butter, vanilla extract and melted chocolate to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.

  3. Place 2 strawberries in each of 3 ziplock bags and crush directly in the bag with the back of a rolling pin.

  4. Divide the blended mixture evenly between the 3 bags.

  5. Seal the bags, pressing out any excess air, and lay flat in the freezer for 4 hours, or until fully frozen.

  6. To serve, cut a corner off each bag and rip the bag open to remove the frozen bar.
