Banana Popsicles
A frozen treat made from bananas, and coconut milk which can be dipped in chocolate and rolled in your favourite nuts or sprinkles
Equipment
- 1 Popsicle Mold (Mine makes 10 popsicles)
Ingredients
- 5-6 large bananas ripe and peel starting to brown
- ½ cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 batch magic shell see link in blog
- crushed slightly salty peanuts (optional)
- sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Making the Banana Popsicle
- In a blender combine the bananas, coconut milk, and sweetener of your choice see note 2. 5-6 large bananas, ½ cup coconut milk, 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- Blend until smooth about 30 seconds.
- Pour into popsicle molds leaving about a ¼ inch of space at the top to allow for expansion once frozen. Follow the instructions for your popsicle mold, but mine has a lid and then I place in the popsicle sticks.
- Place popsicle mold into freezer for 7 hours or overnight.
- To release popsicles, run under warm water and wiggle out.
If Using Magic Shell
- Working quickly, hold the banana popsicle in the magic shell and use a spoon to spoon more magic shell higher up the popsicle letting excess drip back down into the cup. 1 batch magic shell
- Quickly move it to a plate of crushed nuts and roll it around. For sprinkles, I just used my hands to sprinkle them on the wet chocolate.
Notes
- Coconut milk could be replaced with your favourite milk alternative, or you can go for dairy and add heavy cream.
- Sweetener. Depending on how ripe your bananas are you may want to add a little sweetener. I used maple syrup but you could go with honey, regular sugar, or artificial sweetener.
