Ingredients
  

2 large ripe bananas

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon cocoa powder (optional)

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

1/4 cup crushed walnuts or almonds

Fresh strawberries, sliced (for topping)

Maraschino cherries (for garnish)

Whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Begin by peeling the bananas and slicing them into 1-inch thick rounds. Arrange the banana slices flat on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they do not touch.

    Make the Yogurt Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and cocoa powder (if using). Stir well with a spoon or whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.

      Assemble the Disks: Using a small spoon or a spatula, generously dollop the yogurt mixture onto each banana slice, spreading it evenly to create a beautiful layer. Feel free to add more yogurt as desired for an appealing presentation!

        Add the Toppings: Evenly sprinkle the mini chocolate chips and crushed walnuts or almonds over the yogurt-covered banana slices, pressing down slightly to ensure they adhere well to the yogurt.

          Freeze the Disks: Carefully transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and allow it to freeze for 2-3 hours, or until the yogurt is completely solid. For easier storage, once frozen, you can transfer the disks to an airtight container.

            Serve: When you’re ready to enjoy these delightful treats, take the disks out of the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly. Serve each disk topped with fresh sliced strawberries, a dollop of whipped cream (if desired), and finish with a maraschino cherry on top to capture the essence of a classic banana split!
