Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole ripe bananas
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 0.25 cup sprinkles
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts
- 0.25 cup shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
Peel the bananas and cut each one in half crosswise. Carefully insert a popsicle stick or skewer into the cut end of each banana half. Lay them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate into a tall glass or deep bowl to make dipping easier.
Remove the frozen bananas from the freezer and dip each banana half into the melted chocolate, covering it completely or partially depending on preference.
Immediately sprinkle your choice of toppings (sprinkles, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, etc.) onto the chocolate before it sets. Be creative and mix toppings if desired!
Place the coated bananas back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Return them to the freezer for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set and firm.
Once the bananas are fully set, serve them immediately or transfer them to an airtight container and store in the freezer for up to 1 week.
