Description
A delicious and easy recipe for frozen banana pops that you’ll love making at home. These chocolate-coated treats are perfect for a healthy dessert or snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium ripe bananas
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1/4 cup crushed nuts (optional)
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)
- 2 tablespoons colorful sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare Bananas – Slice peeled bananas into thick pieces about one inch wide. Insert wooden popsicle sticks halfway into each slice for easy handling.
- Step 2: Melt Chocolate – Combine dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until completely smooth.
- Step 3: Coat Bananas – Dip each banana slice into melted chocolate mixture, ensuring even coating on all sides. Use a fork for easier handling and better coverage.
- Step 4: Add Toppings – Before chocolate sets, immediately sprinkle your chosen toppings over the coated banana slices for best adhesion.
- Step 5: Freeze – Place coated pops on parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for at least 2 hours or until completely firm.
- Step 6: Serve – Remove from freezer and serve immediately for the perfect texture and temperature.
Notes
- Choose bananas that are ripe but still firm – overly soft bananas become mushy when frozen
- Let melted chocolate cool slightly before dipping to prevent it from sliding off the bananas
- Work quickly when adding toppings as chocolate sets fast, or reheat gently if it becomes too thick
- Store finished pops in airtight containers with parchment between layers to prevent sticking
