Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 large ripe bananas
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) coconut milk
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) raw honey
Chocolate Coating:
- ½ cup (85 grams) dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) coconut oil
Topping:
- ¾ cup (60 grams) unsweetened shredded coconut
- ¾ cup (90 grams) finely chopped nuts (peanuts, walnuts, pistachios, or almonds)
Instructions
- Blend ripe bananas, velvety coconut milk, aromatic vanilla extract, and golden honey in a food processor until achieving a silky, homogeneous puree.
- Transfer the creamy mixture into popsicle molds, carefully inserting wooden sticks into the center of each portion.
- Position the filled molds in the freezer, allowing them to solidify completely for approximately three to four hours.
- While popsicles are freezing, prepare coating stations by spreading chopped nuts and shredded coconut onto separate flat plates.
- Gently remove frozen popsicles from molds by briefly running them under warm water to facilitate easy release.
- Create a luxurious chocolate coating by melting dark chocolate chips with coconut oil in a saucepan, stirring continuously until achieving a glossy, smooth consistency.
- Carefully drench each frozen banana pop into the warm chocolate, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Immediately roll the chocolate-covered popsicles through the nutty and coconut toppings, pressing gently to help coatings adhere.
- Arrange the decorated pops on a parchment-lined baking sheet, returning them to the freezer to set the chocolate shell for an additional hour.
Notes
- Cool down summer days with these creamy, dreamy banana pops loaded with tropical flavors.
- Freezing the popsicles twice ensures a perfectly crisp chocolate shell and smooth interior.
- Quick tip: Use warm water to easily release frozen popsicles from their molds without damaging the delicate treat.
