My Top Recipe Tips
Let the homemade chocolate sauce cool down completely after simmering. As it cools, it thickens up nicely, making it much easier to layer in your glasses without running all over the place.
Make sure to whip the heavy cream to nice stiff peaks using a hand mixer and chill it in the fridge before gently folding it into the banana-yogurt mixture. This keeps the filling super light and airy!
Coarsely crush the Choco Crossies® with your hands instead of grinding them fine. That way, you get a delicious, crunchy contrast to the velvety cream in every single bite.
Be sure to give your mixing bowl a thorough rinse after making the chocolate sauce so your bright banana cream stays clean without any muddy brown streaks.
Can I make this dessert ahead of time?
It’s best not to assemble these layered desserts too far in advance. If they sit too long, the Choco Crossies® will lose their signature crunch and the fresh banana slices will start to brown.
If you’re looking to save time, you can easily make the chocolate sauce and cream filling ahead of time and keep them stored separately in the fridge. Then, just assemble everything in your glasses right before serving!
Any leftover chocolate sauce keeps wonderfully in a clean jar in the fridge—and by the way, it’s also absolutely amazing drizzled over a scoop of ice cream.
Delicious Variations
The Layers: Feel free to customize the layering order in your glasses to match your personal taste!
The Topping: Right before serving, don’t forget to add one last generous drizzle of chocolate sauce over the top layer!
