Let's make these incredibly easy chocolate dipped banana pops! This simple recipe will delight you with the creamy goodness of ripe bananas covered in an indulgent chocolate coating. This healthy dessert is vegan-friendly, gluten-free, and great fun to customize with your favorite toppings!
Ingredients
- 4 bananas just ripe but still firm
- 1 ⅓ cup (8 oz / 225 g) vegan dark chocolate chips or chopped
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Optional topping ideas
- chopped, toasted nuts
- coconut flakes or shredded coconut
- hemp seed hearts
- flaky sea salt
- freeze dried strawberries or raspberries
- vegan sprinkles
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet or tray that fits in your freezer with parchment or waxed paper.
- Slice bananas in half and insert a popsicle stick into the cut end. If you cut the bananas before peeling, you can hold onto the banana skin to make inserting the stick easier.
- Place the peeled bananas on the prepared sheet and freeze for 30 minutes.
- Melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a double boiler over a simmering pan of water until it is mostly melted. Alternatively, melt in a heatproof bowl in the microwave in 15 second intervals, stirring regularly.
- Remove from heat and stir until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Prepare any toppings you wish to use.
- Dip a frozen banana into the chocolate, let the excess chocolate drip off, and then coat immediately in toppings.
- Place the coated banana on the parchment paper and repeat until all bananas are covered in chocolate.
- Freeze for another 2 hours until solid and then enjoy!
Notes
You can also transfer the chocolate to a glass for dipping, just be sure to leave enough space to dip the banana in!
