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
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 batch magic shell see link in blog
- crushed slightly salty peanuts (optional)
- sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- In a blender combine the 5 bananas, ½ cup coconut milk, and 2 tablespoons of sweetener of your choice see note 2.
- 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.
- You can dip the popsicles into the chocolate magic shell and then roll in crushed peanuts or sprinkles, or both! I won’t judge 😉. The magic shell hardens fairly quickly so working fast is key. I hold the banana popsicle in the magic shell and use a spoon to spoon more magic shell higher up the popsicle letting it drip back down into the cup, then I 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.
