Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana
  • 3 ounces semisweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (slightly less than ⅔ cup)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil or avocado oil
  • ¼ cup sprinkles, granola, chopped nuts (optional)
  • 2 popsicle sticks, chopsticks, or sturdy plastic straws
US - Metric

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
  • Peel the banana and cut it in half. Insert a popsicle stick, straw, or similar into each banana half.
  • Place the banana halves on a baking sheet and freeze for about 30 minutes.
  • Melt the chocolate: Add chocolate chips and vegetable oil or avocado oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for about 20 seconds. Stir and let it sit for about 5 minutes to continue melting. Stir until fully melted.
  • Dip each banana half into the melted chocolate. If the bowl isn’t deep enough, use a spoon to drizzle chocolate over the banana.
  • Add your toppings while the chocolate is still wet.
  • Freeze again until firm.

Notes

  • Choose Ripe Bananas: Ripe bananas are sweeter and have a better texture for freezing.
  • Melt Chocolate Slowly: Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between to prevent burning.
  • Freeze Banana First: For best results, freeze the banana before dipping it in chocolate. This helps the chocolate set faster.
  • Use Parchment Paper: Place the dipped banana on parchment paper to prevent sticking while the chocolate sets.
  • Add Toppings Quickly: If using sprinkles or other toppings, add them immediately after dipping the banana in chocolate before it hardens.
