Ingredients
Scale
For the chocolate almond banana popsicles:
- 4 frozen bananas, cut into chunks
- 2 Tablespoons cocoa powder, unsweetened
- ¼ cup (65g) almond butter, unsweetened*
- ½ cup (90g) mini chocolate chips**
For the chocolate coating:
- ½ cup (90g) chocolate chips, melted
- ¼ cup (40g) almonds, chopped
- 1 pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- For the chocolate almond banana popsicles, combine the frozen bananas, almond butter, cacao powder and mini chocolate chips in a high speed blender. Blend until smooth and creamy (keeping in mind that the mini chocolate chips should leave some texture to the mixture).***
- Spoon into the popsicle molds up to the top and insert a wooden stick (or cover with the popsicle mold). Freeze overnight.
- The following day, carefully remove the pops from the molds, by placing it sideways under running water. Place onto a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and freeze until ready to use.
- For the chocolate coating, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave, and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes. Dip the top part of the popsicles in the melted chocolate, and sprinkle with chopped almonds. Add a pinch of sea salt, and freeze to set.
Notes
* Any other nut butter can do: peanut butter, cashew butter, or even macadamia butter and hazelnut butter.
** You can skip the mini chocolate chips if you want to make the popsicles even healthier.
*** If your bananas are not very ripe, you can add some agave syrup or maple syrup to sweeten up the whole thing a little more.
