Chocolate Coated Banana Ice Pop Recipe from the Eat Smart Cookbook

This Banana Ice Pop Recipe is another really quick, easy and delicious summer snack. The concept is simple but full of flavour. The lollipop sticks can be bought from most supermarkets and they look so pretty.

The chocolate dip is homemade and needs only three ingredients.

Ingredients:

2 large ripe bananas, peeled and cut into 1cm slices
2 tbsp almond butter
2 tbsp coconut oil
2 tbsp raw cacao powder
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp unsalted raw almonds

Method:

1. Spread each banana slice with almond butter and layer up 3-4 slices on each stick.
2. Place on a plate and repeat with the remaining banana slices and freeze for an hour.
3. To make the chocolate, heat the coconut oil in a small saucepan over a medium heat and remove from the heat just before it’s totally melted.
4. Whisk in the cacao powder and maple syrup, pour into a bowl and keep to one side.
5. Crush the almonds in a pestle and mortar until broken down into small chunks.
6. When the bananas have been freezing for at least an hour, remove and dip into the chocolate until totally covered.
7. Immediately sprinkle the crushed almonds over the chocolate and place back in the freezer to set for about 30 minutes.
8. Tip … To save yourself time making the homemade chocolate, feel free to melt dark chocolate instead.
