Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1/4 cup of unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter
- 4 tablespoons of unsweetened cacao powder
- 200 grams of quality dark chocolate, for dipping
Instructions:
- In a blender, combine ripe bananas, almond milk, peanut butter, and cacao powder. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
- Carefully pour the blended mixture into your choice of ice lolly molds. If lolly molds are not available, ice cube trays can serve as a good alternative.
- Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for about four hours, or until the mixture is fully set.
- When the bars are set, prepare the chocolate coating by melting the dark chocolate. Use the double boiler method by placing the chocolate in a heat-proof bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl.
- Once melted, dip each frozen bar into the chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let the excess chocolate drip off, then lay the bars on a tray lined with baking paper.
- Allow the chocolate coating to set completely. You can place them back in the freezer for a few minutes to harden.
- Enjoy your Homemade Double Chocolate Magnum Bars immediately for the best texture, or store them in the freezer in an airtight container for a delicious treat any time.
