Tips
  • Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness. Overripe bananas with brown spots work well as they have a natural sweetness that complements the peanut butter.
  • Opt for natural peanut butter without added sugar or excessive oils. The natural nutty flavor and texture pair wonderfully with the sweetness of bananas.
  • While classic peanut butter works great, you can also try almond butter, cashew butter, or other nut butters for a different flavor profile.
  •  Customize your Banana Peanut Butter Cups with toppings like chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or a sprinkle of sea salt for added texture and flavor.
  • The chocolate can harden fairly quickly, so work efficiently when assembling the cups to ensure that they set properly.
  • After assembling the cups, freeze them for at least a few hours or until they're completely solid. This helps all the layers firm up.
  • Keep the Banana Peanut Butter Cups in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain their texture. If left in the fridge, they may become too soft.
  • Enjoy the cups straight from the freezer or allow them to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving if you prefer a slightly softer texture.
