Pop in the fridge for one hour to allow the chocolate to set up. Enjoy!
*Be sure to buy vegan chocolate chips to keep this recipe 100% plant-based. I like these.
**If you want to add a bit more flavor, stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt when adding in the coconut.
***To create more depth of flavor, toast the shredded coconut in a dry pan until golden brown. Cool completely before adding to the bananas.
