Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas (about 1 cup mashed)
  • 1 1/2 cups coconut cream (2 cans coconut milk- full fat)
  • 1/4 cup coconut liquid (liquid in the can underneath the cream)
  • 1/2 cup strawberries (optional) (chopped)

Chocolate Coating & Toppings

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
  • 1/4 cup marischino cherries
  • 2 tbsp sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Place cans of coconut milk in the fridge the night before you plan to make these.
  2. In a large bowl, mash bananas, you should have about 1 cup mashed bananas.
  3. Scoop out the solidified cream from the top of the cans to measure 1 1/2 cups coconut cream and add to the bananas. Use an electric mixer to combine the two. About 1 min on medium speed.
  4. Stir in 1/2 chopped strawberries and spoon into popsicle molds.
  5. Place in the freezer for at least 4 1/2 hours.

Making the chocolate shell & adding toppings

  1. Chop peanuts and cherries and set aside.
  2. Remove popsicles from the mold by placing each individual mold under warm running water until you can remove the pop from the mold. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and place in freezer until ready to dip.
  3. Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave for 1 minute. Stir and then microwave an additional 30 seconds. This should be enough time but continue to microwave for 30 second intervals until fully melted.
  4. Dip pops in chocolate then sprinkle with peanuts, cherries and sprinkles. Place back on baking sheet and cover with plastic until ready to serve.
  5. Enjoy!

Notes

  • I personally think the ice cream part is sweet enough, if you like things sweeter and don’t care about being vegan or dairy free, sweetened condensed milk would be a good addition. 
  • Try swapping strawberries for pineapple in the ice cream base or leave them out entirely
  • The measurements for toppings are approximate and will depend on how much you add and whether or not you put toppings on both sides of the popsicle.
