Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe bananas
- 8 oz semisweet or dark chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 1/4 cup sprinkles or shredded coconut (optional)
- 8 wooden popsicle sticks
Instructions
- Peel the bananas and cut each in half crosswise. Insert a popsicle stick into each banana half and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze the bananas for at least 1–2 hours until firm.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Dip each frozen banana into the melted chocolate, turning to coat evenly.
- Quickly sprinkle with chopped nuts, sprinkles, or shredded coconut if desired before the chocolate sets.
- Return the chocolate-covered bananas to the parchment-lined tray and freeze for another 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.
- Serve frozen or store in an airtight container in the freezer.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas for best texture.
- Coconut oil helps the chocolate harden smoothly.
- Try drizzling white chocolate for a decorative touch.
