Ingredients

  • 6 bananas sliced and frozen
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup peanuts chopped
  • Optional Garnish: whipped cream cherries

Instructions

  • Place frozen, sliced bananas in blender. Blend on high until pureed and creamy. If you need to, you can add milk to blender to help create thick and creamy consistency.
  • Spoon banana "ice cream" mixture into popsicle mold
  • Transfer popsicles to freezer and allow ~3 hours to completely set
  • While waiting, cover baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside
  • Remove popsicles from freezer and allow to sit at room temperature about 5 minutes. This will help you be able to remove popsicles from mold easier. If popsicles won't come out of mold after 5 minutes, you can carefully run outside of molds under warm water.
  • Meanwhile, fill small saucepan 3/4 full with water and place on stove over medium-heat. Set glass bowl over saucepan (double boiler). Pour chocolate chips into glass bowl and constantly stir until chocolate is melted.
  • Once chocolate chips are melted, allow to cool for ~2 minutes before dipping tip of popsicles into melted chocolate. Coat entire tip of popsicle with chocolate and then immediately sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
  • Lay popsicles on parchment lined baking sheet and place entire pan in freezer.
  • Allow about 5 minutes to completely set
  • Remove from freezer and garnish with whipped cream and cherries (if desired) and serve immediately.
