Published on

Preparation Time

20-30 minutes (excluding freezing time)

Serves

6 banana penguins

Ingredients

  • 150g dark chocolate chips

  • 3 bananas

  • 18 orange M&Ms

  • White ready to roll icing

  • Chocolate icing pen

  1. Peel 3 bananas and cut each in half. Place in the freezer.

  2. Melt the dark chocolate into a bowl over a pan of simmering water until runny. Leave to cool slightly.

  3. To make the penguin’s eyes, roll out small balls using ready to roll icing. Pipe the pupils onto the eye using a chocolate icing pen.

  4. Once completely frozen, remove the bananas from the freezer and peel.

  5. Dunk the top half of the banana into the melted chocolate, gently rolling so you get a longer coating on the back. Dunk the bottom of the banana in the chocolate to create the feet.

  6. Carefully stick on the eyes and do the same with the M&Ms for the nose and two for the feet.

  7. Place back in the freezer briefly to set and then serve.
