A simple and refreshing summer treat made with ripe bananas, dark chocolate, and coconut oil, creating creamy frozen pops with a crisp chocolate shell.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe bananas, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup (about 170g) dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (can substitute unsalted butter)

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice 3 large ripe bananas into chunks. Place them in a blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Spoon the creamy banana mixture evenly into popsicle molds or small paper cups. Insert popsicle sticks into each. Place the molds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until completely solid.
  4. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup dark chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each, until smooth and glossy. Alternatively, melt over a double boiler on low heat.
  5. Remove banana pops from molds and quickly dip each into the melted chocolate, swirling to coat evenly. Let excess chocolate drip off before placing back on parchment paper.
  6. Return the dipped pops to the freezer for 10-15 minutes to set the chocolate shell completely.
  7. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer.

Notes

Work quickly when dipping to prevent the banana pops from melting. If the chocolate thickens too much, rewarm gently. Use ripe bananas for best creaminess. Freeze pops fully before dipping to avoid melting. Adding coconut oil to chocolate helps create a shiny, crisp shell. Optional toppings include sea salt, crushed nuts, or freeze-dried mint leaves.
