Prep Time15 minutes
Freeze30 minutes
Total Time45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 6 bananas
  • 2 cups milk chocolate chips about 12 ounces
  • 1/4 cup refined coconut oil
  • Toppings of choice: sprinkles chopped nuts, shredded coconut, mini M&M’s, mini chocolate chips, or crushed candies

Instructions

  • PREP BANANAS: Peel 6 bananas and cut each banana in half crosswise to create 12 pieces. Insert a popsicle stick halfway into the cut end of each banana half, being careful not to push through the side.
  • FREEZE BANANAS: Place the banana halves on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 15 minutes so the bananas firm up before dipping.
  • MELT CHOCOLATE: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 2 cups milk chocolate chips and ¼ cup refined coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is almost fully melted. Stir until smooth.
  • PREP TOPPINGS: Pour your chosen toppings into shallow bowls or plates so they are ready for dipping.
  • DIP BANANAS: Holding the popsicle stick, dip each frozen banana into the melted chocolate, turning to coat evenly. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
  • ADD TOPPINGS: Immediately roll or sprinkle the chocolate-coated banana in your prepared toppings.
  • FREEZE TO SET: Return the coated bananas to the baking sheet and freeze for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.
  • SERVE: Enjoy immediately or keep frozen until ready to serve.

Notes

Make-Ahead: These can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the freezer until ready to serve.
Storage: Store frozen bananas in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 2 weeks.
Reheating: Not applicable. Serve frozen.
Freezing: Keep the bananas frozen until serving so the chocolate stays firm and the bananas hold their shape.
Ingredient Tip: Refined coconut oil melts smoothly and does not add coconut flavor. Use unrefined coconut oil if you prefer a light coconut taste.
