Bananas are not only delicious but also pack a nutritional punch, making them an excellent choice for desserts. Rich in essential vitamins and minerals, bananas are particularly high in potassium, which supports heart health and proper muscle function. They also provide valuable dietary fiber, which aids digestion and helps maintain a feeling of fullness, making them a smart option for those mindful of their sugar intake.

Ingredients
  

3 ripe bananas

2 cups Greek yogurt (choose between plain or vanilla)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (your preference)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1/2 cup crushed graham crackers (for a crunchy topping)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional for added texture)

Fresh banana slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Start by peeling the bananas. Slice them into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash the bananas until they reach a smooth consistency while still retaining some texture for bite.

    Mix the Yogurt Base: In a separate bowl, add the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Stir these ingredients together thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.

      Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the mashed bananas into the yogurt mixture. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to maintain some chunks of banana for added texture.

        Layer in Cups: Using serving cups or silicone muffin molds, evenly distribute the yogurt-banana mixture into each cup, filling them about two-thirds of the way full.

          Add Caramel Sauce: Drizzle a generous layer of caramel sauce over the yogurt-banana mixture in each cup, allowing it to create a luscious layer on top.

            Final Layer: Carefully add the remaining yogurt-banana mixture on top of the caramel layer in each cup, smoothing it out with a spatula for an even finish.

              Graham Crackers & Nuts: Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers over each cup, followed by a scattering of chopped walnuts or pecans, if you desire some crunch.

                Freeze: Cover each cup tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and place them in the freezer. Allow them to freeze for at least 4 to 6 hours or until they are solidly firm.

                  Serve: When you're ready to enjoy, take the cups out of the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for easy serving. Garnish with fresh banana slices and an extra drizzle of caramel sauce if desired for that special touch.

                    Enjoy: Dive into these deliciously refreshing Chilly Banana Bliss Cups and enjoy every bite of delightful flavor and texture!
