Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe bananas
- 120 ml coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 grams almonds
- 30 grams shredded coconut
- 60 grams dark chocolate (vegan, raw if possible)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel and slice the bananas into chunks, then add them to a blender.
Step 2
Add the coconut cream, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Pour the banana mixture evenly into 6 popsicle molds. Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
Step 4
While the popsicles are freezing, prepare the crunchy topping. Finely chop the almonds and mix with the shredded coconut in a bowl.
Step 5
Melt the vegan dark chocolate with the coconut oil using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Step 6
Once the popsicles are fully set, remove them from the molds by running warm water over the outsides of the molds for a few seconds.
Step 7
Dip each popsicle into the melted chocolate, then quickly sprinkle or press the almond and coconut mixture onto the chocolate coating before it sets.
Step 8
Place the popsicles on a lined baking tray and return them to the freezer for 10 minutes to let the chocolate harden completely.
Step 9
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
