Preparation Time
Total Time: 20 minutes
Step-by-Step Instruction
- Wash the oranges thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean towel.
- Carefully peel the oranges, removing as much of the white pith as possible for a sweeter taste.
- Chop the oranges into small cubes for a smoother blend.
- Next, peel the bananas and slice them into even rounds.
- Set the fruit aside in a bowl while you melt the chocolate.
- Using a double boiler or a heat-proof bowl over simmering water, melt the white chocolate gently.
- Stir the chocolate continuously to ensure it melts evenly and doesn't burn.
- Once melted, remove the chocolate from the heat to let it cool slightly.
- In a blender, combine the chopped oranges, banana slices, and melted white chocolate.
- Add the yogurt into the blender, adapting the quantity to how creamy you like your drink.
- Blend the mixture until it's completely smooth and creamy without any chunks remaining.
- Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more chocolate or optionally honey if desired.
- Pour the smooth blend into serving glasses, filling each to your preferred level.
- For an appealing presentation, garnish each glass with a slice of orange or banana on the rim.
- Alternatively, sprinkle some grated white chocolate on top for added texture.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
- If not serving right away, keep the drink chilled in the refrigerator.
- Stir well before serving to combine any settled layers.
- Pair with a slight hint of mint to elevate the freshness of this drink.
- Enjoy your creamy Chocolate Orange Banana Yogurt Delight!
