Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Ripe bananas
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Peel the bananas, break them into chunks, and mash them in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk thoroughly to ensure there are no lumps.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the chocolate chips until completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Add the mashed bananas and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture, then blend everything together with a handheld immersion blender (or transfer to a blender) until smooth and creamy.
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
Once cooled, divide the mixture evenly among popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top to allow for expansion when freezing.
Insert popsicle sticks into the molds and place them in the freezer. Freeze for at least 6 hours or until completely solid.
To unmold the pudding pops, briefly run warm water over the outside of the molds, then gently pull out each pop.
Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy, chocolaty, banana goodness!
