Peel and slice the bananas into chunks, then add them to a blender.
Add the coconut cream, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Pour the banana mixture evenly into 6 popsicle molds. Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
While the popsicles are freezing, prepare the crunchy topping. Finely chop the almonds and mix with the shredded coconut in a bowl.
Melt the vegan dark chocolate with the coconut oil using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
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.
Dip each popsicle into the melted chocolate, then quickly sprinkle or press the almond and coconut mixture onto the chocolate coating before it sets.
Place the popsicles on a lined baking tray and return them to the freezer for 10 minutes to let the chocolate harden completely.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
