I scream, you scream, we all scream for…..wait – Banana Split Roll Ups??
It starts by dunking a banana into smooth and creamy vegan chocolate, sprinkling it with salty roasted peanuts, and then rolling it up in a warmed flour tortilla bathed in a thick layer of raspberry jam.
This delightful twist on a classic summertime dessert checks all of the best flavor boxes: Sweet from the chocolate, salty from the crunchy peanuts, and tangy from the raspberry jam (which is one of the best parts if you ask me)
Warming the tortilla creates yet another enjoyable contrast against the frozen chocolate covered banana, and really mimics the hot/cold combo the makes a hot fudge sundae so delightful – especially when paired with a generous dollop of vegan whipped cream on top!

- 2 large ripe bananas
- 3/4 of a cup vegan chocolate chips**
- 1 handful roasted, salted peanuts
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 4 tbsp raspberry jam
- vegan whipped cream
Chop the peanuts and place on a large dinner plate. Then melt the chocolate chips and coat each banana with the melted chocolate.
Immediately roll the chocolate covered banana in the peanuts and place on a lined cookie sheet.
Freeze for 15-20 minutes to harden. You can also do this the night before to freeze all the way through and/or to save time.
In the meantime, warm the tortillas and spread a thick layer on jam on top. Place one banana in the center and roll up.
Then cut in half or into pinwheels and top with vegan whipped cream and the remaining chocolate sauce if desired. You can use 1 cup of chocolate chips if you want extra for drizzling on top. If not, 3/4 of a cup is plenty.
To melt the chocolate, microwave the chocolate chips in 10 second intervals, it should only take between 2-3 times depending on your microwave, and stir in between to avoid over heating.
Remove from the microwave before it looks fully melted and stir until it looks smooth and creamy. A teaspoon or two of refined coconut oil can be stirred in to make the chocolate runnier and give it a nice shine.This is great for making chocolate covered strawberries too 🙂
