Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe bananas, peeled and cut in halves or thirds
- 8 ounces (225 grams) good-quality dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips or bars, chopped
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) coconut oil (optional but recommended)
- ½ cup (about 75 grams) rainbow or chocolate sprinkles
- 8 popsicle sticks, wooden or reusable silicone
Instructions
- Peel and cut 4 ripe bananas into halves or thirds depending on size. Insert a popsicle stick into the cut end of each banana piece, pressing firmly but gently to avoid splitting.
- Place the banana pops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they don’t touch each other. Freeze for at least 1 hour until firm.
- Chop 8 ounces (225 grams) of chocolate and place it in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler. Add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of coconut oil. Melt the chocolate gently, stirring frequently until fully melted and glossy.
- Remove bananas from the freezer. Quickly dip each banana pop into the melted chocolate, swirling to coat evenly. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
- Immediately sprinkle colorful sprinkles over the chocolate coating before it sets.
- Return the dipped banana pops to the parchment-lined tray and freeze for at least 2 hours or until fully hardened.
- When ready to serve, let the pops sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes to soften slightly for the perfect creamy bite.
Notes
Freeze banana pieces before dipping to prevent melting and mess. Use coconut oil in chocolate for a glossy, smooth finish. Add sprinkles immediately after dipping for best adhesion. Reheat chocolate gently if it thickens during dipping.
