Summer Recipes: Frozen Chocolate Banana Pops

Frozen Chocolate Banana Monkey Pops

Ingredients:

  • 2 Bananas (cut into 1 ½ to 2 in. chunks
  • ½ cup Dairy Free Dark Chocolate Chips
  • ½ Tbsp Melted Coconut Oil
  • 1 Tbsp Cashew  (peanut, or sunflower seed butter)
  • Sweetener, to taste*
  • Toppings (if wanted ) 

Instructions:

  1. Stick the banana chunks with your sticks of choice. This could even be toothpicks, but for fun, I cut these cute Monkey Business straws.
  2. Place the banana chunks, stick side up, in a single layer, not touching, on a silicone baking mat or parchment paper in the freezer. Freeze for several hours, until solid. Can be stored frozen in an airtight plastic bag until ready to use.
  3. Melt the chocolate chips (using the microwave - about 1 minute - or double broiler), until just melted. Do not overheat.
  4. Stir the melted chocolate, coconut oil, nut/seed butter, and sweetener, to taste, in a small bowl until smooth.
  5. If using toppings, place each on a separate small plate.
  6. Dip the frozen banana slices in the chocolate, rolling the sides as needed, then immediately roll in toppings, if using. Work quickly, as the chocolate will immediately begin setting up. If the chocolate cools too much and begins to get thick, heat it briefly (15 seconds in the microwave) and stir.
  7. Place the dipped bananas back on the mat or paper in the freezer. They can be eaten immediately, or kept frozen for later.
