Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 pops
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- Sprinkles (optional)
- Wooden sticks
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients and equipment. You will need 3 ripe bananas, 1 cup of white chocolate chips, 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, sprinkles (optional), and wooden sticks. Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for the banana pops.
- Peel the bananas and cut them in half crosswise, giving you 6 banana pieces. Insert a wooden stick into the cut end of each banana half, making sure it goes in about halfway to ensure stability.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil. The coconut oil helps to give the chocolate a smoother consistency when melted.
- Microwave the chocolate mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval. Continue this process until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, as it can burn easily.
- Once the chocolate is melted, take each banana pop and dip it into the white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing it on the prepared baking sheet.
- If you are using sprinkles, immediately sprinkle them over the chocolate-covered bananas before the chocolate sets. This will help the sprinkles adhere to the chocolate.
- After all the banana pops are coated, place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully hardened.
- Once the chocolate is set, your White Chocolate Covered Banana Pops are ready to enjoy! Serve them immediately or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for later.
Tips
- Choose Ripe Bananas: For the best flavor and sweetness, use ripe bananas that are slightly speckled. They should be firm but not overly soft.
- Melt Chocolate Carefully: When melting the white chocolate, do it in small increments to prevent burning. Stir well after each interval to ensure a smooth consistency.
- Experiment with Toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Instead of sprinkles, try crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or even a drizzle of dark chocolate for added flair.
- Chill for Perfect Texture: Allow the banana pops to freeze for at least 10-15 minutes. This will ensure the chocolate coating hardens perfectly and gives you that satisfying crunch when you take a bite.
- Storage Tips: If you have leftovers, store your pops in an airtight container in the freezer. They can last for up to a month, but we doubt they’ll last that long!
