- Using a butter knife, spread about 1 tsp. of almond butter or filling of choice on your banana pieces. Place in freezer for 30 min.
- While bananas are freezing, add your almonds to a blender or coffee grinder and pulse a 2-3 times until almonds are crossly chopped.
- Next, in a double boiler melt your coconut oil and chocolate on low heat (about 5 min).
- Take bananas out of the freezer and using tooth picks, dip your banana pieces into the chocolate making sure to coat evenly.

Notes
You can enjoy these banana ice cream bites frozen right out of the freezer or let them thaw for about 15-30 min for a soft serve texture.
