How to Make Frozen Banana & Almond Butter Bars

Step 1: Prepare the Base

In a food processor, blend the banana, cottage cheese, and honey until smooth. Set aside.

Step 2: Create the Chocolate Layers

Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave or using a double boiler. Pour half of the melted chocolate into a lined small baking dish or silicon bar tray, spreading it evenly. Freeze for 5–10 minutes until set.

Step 3: Add the Base & Almond Butter Layers

Once the bottom chocolate layer is firm, spread the banana-cottage cheese mixture evenly on top. Then, gently spread the almond butter over it.

Step 4: Top with More Chocolate

Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the almond butter, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Sprinkle with sea salt.

Step 5: Freeze & Slice

Freeze over night or until fully set. Once firm, cut into bars and enjoy!
