Ingredients
UnitsScale
Banana ice cream mixture
3 ripe frozen bananas
1 can full-fat coconut milk
1/4cup maple syrup
1/4cup unsweetened peanut butter
Chocolate Coating
2cups chopped dark chocolate (about 8 oz)
1 tbsp coconut oil
Toppings
sprinkles
chopped nuts
unsweetened shredded coconut
chopped freeze-dried strawberries
chopped maraschino cherries
Instructions
Place frozen banana, peanut butter, maple syrup and coconut milk in a blender. Blend until smooth.
Pour mixture into popsicle molds, insert popsicle sticks and freeze overnight.
Remove popsicles from molds by running under lukewarm water and pulling on popsicle stick until the pop slides out easily (if you have the mold I have this is how I do it). Place popsicles on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place baking sheet in the freezer while you prepare the toppings.
To make the chocolate coating: place chopped chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl or large liquid measuring cup. Heat in 30 second intervals until melted, stir in between intervals until smooth. It shouldn’t take more than 2 minutes. You can either dip or drizzle chocolate over the popsicles. If you want to dip, use a smaller liquid measuring cup so the volume of the melted chocolate will be higher.
Dip one popsicle about half-way into the chocolate, quickly shake off excess chocolate and place popsicle back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Immediately sprinkle on toppings as the chocolate will set quickly.
Note: The chocolate is warm and if the popsicles are starting to melt as you get a few pops in (depending on how hot it is in your house) the pops might get harder to dip. If possible, work near the freezer and keep the pops in the freezer and remove one at a time to dip, top, then place back in the freezer). If not, it might be easier for you to drizzle.
