Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 ripe but firm bananas
- 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips or bars, melted
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter
- Colorful sprinkles (rainbow nonpareils, chocolate jimmies, or crushed nuts)
- Wooden popsicle sticks
- Optional toppings: crushed nuts (almonds or peanuts), toasted coconut flakes, mini chocolate chips, sea salt flakes
Instructions
- Peel bananas and slice in half crosswise into about 3-inch pieces. Insert a wooden popsicle stick halfway into each banana half.
- Place banana pops on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer and freeze for at least 2 hours until solid.
- Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil or butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy, or use a double boiler.
- Quickly dip each frozen banana pop into the melted chocolate using a fork or tongs, letting excess chocolate drip off.
- Immediately sprinkle your choice of toppings onto the wet chocolate coating.
- Return the dipped banana pops to the parchment-lined tray and freeze for another 1-2 hours until the chocolate hardens completely.
- Serve frozen. Store extras in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
Notes
Freeze bananas until rock solid to achieve creamy texture and prevent chocolate from sliding off. Add coconut oil or butter to chocolate for smooth melting and glossy finish. Work quickly when dipping and sprinkling toppings before chocolate sets. Store in airtight container in freezer up to 7 days. Re-crisp chocolate by leaving pops at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving.
