Ingredients
- 1 large banana
- chocolate syrup
Instructions
We peel the banana and wrap it well in aluminum foil. We place in a freezer bag and freeze overnight.
When we want to eat the frozen banana, we peel back the foil and dip in chocolate sauce served in a small prep bowl.
We spent the afternoon at Grammy's installing kids computer games. When that took a little longer than expected, we found ourselves with no time to prepare a home-cooked meal. Hence, the trip to Panera.
Frozen bananas were a favorite dessert of ours from our days in graduate school. In fact, it was Robin's undergraduate professor who spurred us to make them again. She found our little cookbook (isn't the internet the greatest?) and recalled to us how fond she was of them. They are simple, tasty, and best of all, cheap. They bring back memories for the adults—perhaps someday, they will do the same for the kids.
