As you make your way through Donkey Kong Bananza's Freezer Layer (SL502 to be exact), you can find the Ice-Serve Slope challenge room. The entrance to it is sealed off, but you can open it by using Pauline's singing power.
If you have yet to find it, just cross the bridge right when you enter the layer, and then turn right and drop down the ledge. The course will have you attempting to make little ice cubes fall into bins to create ice cream.
There are three Banandium Gems (Bananas) to collect in Freezer Layer Challenge Course 5, so this Donkey Kong Bananza guide will show you where they are located.

All Bananas in Ice Serve Slope in Donkey Kong Bananza
Banandium Gem 1
For the first Banandium Gem, you need to climb to the top of the structure that is right behind the ice machine. However, the only way to get up there is to look over to the right side of the wall.
You'll find some climbable spots on the side that will lead DK to the top of the building. You'll find the Banana up there for the taking.
Banandium Gem 2
For the second Banandium Gem, look at the suspicious mound of snow in the middle of the path. You will find another acceptable, like the one at the front of the level near the lever you pulled to start the ice machine. You need to fill this up with ice to get the banana. You will need to use the blast bombs to make a path or just use your fists.
You can check out the images to see how we managed to get the ice in the cube.
Banandium Gem 3
And, obviously, for the last Banandium Gem in Ice-Serve Slope, you need to fill the box at the entrance of the course. Once you get enough ice in there, the Banana will appear nearby.
Each Banandium Gem you get will go towards unlocking new skills for Donkey Kong. You don't need to collect Bananas for story progression, but you should still make an effort to grab as many as you can.
