Recipe by /contributors/gina-marie-miraglia-eriquez When frozen, bananas become so creamy they can almost pass for sorbet or even ice cream. Coat them with chocolate and sprinkle them with homemade peanut brittle—there will be plenty left over for snacki

Ingredients

  • 8 medium bananas
  • 1 cup salted dry-roasted peanuts
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter plus more for baking sheet
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • 12 ounces bittersweet (60% cacao) chocolate, chopped
  • Special equipment: 8 wooden popsicle sticks (4 1/2- by 1/2-inch); candy thermometer

Instructions

  1. Line a large baking sheet with wax paper.
  2. Peel bananas and carefully insert a popsicle stick into bottom end of each banana, halfway up stick. Arrange bananas on the baking sheet and freeze until firm but not frozen hard, about 1 hour. (You don't want the bananas so cold that the chocolate solidifies before you have a chance to add the peanut brittle.)
