Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bananas
- 1.5 cups Dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
- 0.25 cup Sprinkles (optional)
- 0.25 cup Shredded coconut (optional)
- 4 pieces Wooden popsicle sticks
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice each in half crosswise.
Insert a wooden popsicle stick into the cut end of each banana half, pushing it about halfway through to secure the banana.
Place the banana halves on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze them for about 2 hours or until they are firm.
While the bananas are freezing, prepare the chocolate coating by melting the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together. Use a microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, or use a double boiler on the stovetop. Stir until smooth and glossy.
Once the bananas are frozen, remove them from the freezer. Dip each banana into the melted chocolate, turning to coat evenly. Let any excess chocolate drip off.
If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts, sprinkles, or shredded coconut over the chocolate coating while it is still wet.
Place the dipped bananas back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Once all the bananas are coated, return the sheet to the freezer for another 30 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set.
Serve straight from the freezer and enjoy this delicious, refreshing treat!
