Pro Tips for the Best Frozen Banana Clusters

  • Banana Browning Tip: Lightly sprinkle lemon juice on banana slices to prevent them from browning.
  • Yogurt Type: Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture that freezes well.
  • Nut Options: Not a peanut fan? Try almonds, pistachios, or crushed cashews.
  • Chocolate Choices: Milk chocolate is sweet and classic, but dark or semi-sweet works beautifully too.
  • Quick Melt: Microwave the chocolate in short bursts with a teaspoon of coconut oil for smoother consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Use Plant-Based Yogurt?

Absolutely! Coconut or almond-based yogurts work well—just be sure they’re thick and not overly watery.

How Long Do They Take to Freeze?

About 2–3 hours should do it, depending on your freezer. For best texture, freeze overnight.

Can I Skip the Nuts?

Yes! You can top them with shredded coconut, granola, or leave them plain.

Do I Need to Line the Tray?

Definitely. Use parchment or wax paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.

Will the Banana Slices Get Icy?

Not if you coat them fully in yogurt. The yogurt acts as a barrier against freezer burn.

Are These Kid-Friendly?

Totally! They’re naturally sweet, fun to make together, and way better than sugary ice pops.

How to Store Frozen Banana Clusters

Once fully frozen, transfer the clusters into an airtight container or freezer bag. They’ll stay fresh in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. When ready to enjoy, let them sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes so they’re not rock-solid.

How to Freeze

After assembling your clusters, place them on a tray lined with parchment paper and freeze until solid—about 2–3 hours. Once hardened, you can move them into a sealed container or bag. Keep frozen until ready to enjoy—no need to thaw!

How To Make Frozen Banana Clusters

Slice the bananas into even coins. If desired, toss them with a little lemon juice to help prevent browning. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and arrange the banana slices on it, spaced slightly apart. Spoon or pipe a generous amount of Greek yogurt over each banana slice so they're fully covered.

Place the tray in the freezer for 2 to 3 hours, or until the yogurt layer is completely frozen. Melt the chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler, stirring until smooth. You can add a splash of oil if you'd like a shinier, thinner texture.

Drizzle or spoon the melted chocolate over the frozen banana-yogurt pieces. While the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle chopped peanuts or your preferred topping on each one. Return the tray to the freezer for about 30 minutes, just long enough for the chocolate to set. Once frozen, serve straight from the freezer and enjoy!
