Description
Frozen Banana Coconut Pops are a healthy, refreshing, and easy-to-make treat. Ripe bananas are dipped in creamy yogurt, rolled in coconut, and frozen until firm, creating a delicious snack perfect for hot days or a guilt-free dessert.
Ingredients
– 4 large overripe bananas
– 1 can (13.5 oz / 400ml) full-fat canned coconut milk
– 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
– 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup toasted shredded coconut (plus more for garnish)
– 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Insert a popsicle stick or wooden skewer into the cut end of each banana half.
- If using plain yogurt and desired, stir in honey or maple syrup to sweeten.
- Spread shredded coconut on a plate or shallow dish.
- Dip each banana half into the yogurt, coating evenly.
- Roll the yogurt-coated banana in the shredded coconut, pressing gently to adhere.
- Place the coated bananas on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- If desired, drizzle with melted dark chocolate.
- Freeze for at least 3 hours, or until firm.
- Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- For a vegan version, use dairy-free yogurt and ensure chocolate is vegan.
- Use ripe but firm bananas for best results.
- If coconut isn’t sticking, you can chill the yogurt-dipped bananas for 10 minutes before rolling in coconut.
- These can be made without sticks for a simpler frozen bite.
