Print Recipe

A quick and easy 5-ingredient frozen treat combining ripe bananas, creamy peanut butter, and a rich dark chocolate coating for a creamy, indulgent snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, peeled, sliced, and frozen
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter (120 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (30 ml)
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips (170 g, 60-70% cocoa)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil (5 ml)

Instructions

  1. Freeze the Bananas: Peel and slice 3 medium ripe bananas into ½ inch thick coins. Arrange on a parchment-lined tray and freeze until solid, about 2 hours or overnight.
  2. Blend the Base: Place frozen banana slices into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Mix Peanut Butter and Honey: In a separate bowl, combine ½ cup creamy peanut butter with 2 tablespoons honey. Stir until smooth.
  4. Combine: Add peanut butter-honey mixture to the banana base. Blend briefly to combine evenly, about 30 seconds. Avoid over-blending.
  5. Fill the Molds: Spoon mixture into popsicle molds, leaving space at the top. Insert sticks and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Prepare Chocolate Coating: Melt 1 cup dark chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  7. Coat the Pops: Remove frozen pops from molds. Quickly dip each pop into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place on parchment-lined tray and freeze 15-20 minutes to set.
  8. Serve or Store: Enjoy immediately or store frozen in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Use ripe bananas with yellow skin and brown spots for best sweetness and creaminess. Avoid over-blending after adding peanut butter to maintain texture. Melt chocolate slowly in 20-second bursts to avoid graininess. If chocolate hardens too quickly while dipping, warm slightly again. Add a teaspoon of almond milk or water if banana mixture is too thick for blending. Run warm water over popsicle molds to loosen pops before removing.
