Mmmmmm is the best way to sum up these super simple Chocolate Dipped Banana Popsicles. Summertime is all about quick and easy food that lets you to spend more time outdoors playing in the sun with friends and family. That was our mentality when we came up with this delicious treat.
This frozen dessert reminds us of a DQ Dilly Bar, but so much healthier! The frozen banana becomes so creamy that when it’s dipped in the chocolate mixture, they’ll play tricks on your taste buds.
The recipe recommends melting the chocolate in a double boiler on the stove, but you can choose to microwave instead. To do this, place the chocolate and coconut oil into a microwave-safe bowl and cook on high for 30 seconds. Remove, mix well, and place back into the microwave for 30 more seconds. Continue to do this until the chocolate is completely melted. Do not microwave for longer than 30 second increments as you will risk burning the chocolate… trust us, we’ve done this!
Customize this tasty treat based on your mood. You can top it with something sweet, salty, funky, or go plain! No matter what you’re feeling, you can try it. Or better yet, make one of each!
Next time you’re hanging out by the pool, sitting in your hot condo with no A/C, or enjoying a summer night, try whipping together some Chocolate Dipped Banana Popsicles! They won’t disappoint!
