- 3 Bananas
- 170g (6oz) Dark Chocolate (equivalent to 1 cup of choc chips)
- 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil
Optional Toppings
- finely chopped nuts / seeds
- nut butter
- shredded coconut
- sprinkles
- freeze dried fruit
Line a baking sheet (that will fit in freezer space) with baking /parchment paper.
Peel the bananas, slice in half and insert a popsicle stick into the cut end. Place each banana on the prepared baking sheet and freeze for a minimum of 2 hours.
Once the bananas are frozen, melt the chocolate. Add chocolate and coconut oil to a microwavable bowl. Microwave, stirring every 20-30 seconds until fully melted and smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate into a tall jar/glass and dip the bananas in the chocolate. Quickly sprinkle with chosen toppings (if using) before the chocolate has time to set.
Return to the freezer until the chocolate fully hardens, around 5 minutes. If storing for later, place in a zip lock bag or a freezer friendly airtight container for up to a week.
No Microwave? : Use a double boiler to melt chocolate on stove top.
