These are the easiest banana popsicles you would have ever made. I enjoy them thoroughly throughout summer or whenever I have extra bananas that are about to go bad.
In a blender, add 1 fully ripe banana, ½ cup whole milk, 1 cup Vanilla Bean ice cream OR 1 cup Vanilla ice cream + 1 tsp Vanilla extract.
Whiz them together until well combined and smoothie like consistency.
Now add 4 tbsp finely grated semi-sweet chocolate to the blender and give it one more whiz.
Pour the mixture into the popsicle mold and put them in the freezer overnight.
Next day, before serving the popsicle, make the chocolate sauce to drizzle over the popsicle. To make the chocolate sauce, take 1 & ½ tbsp of coconut oil and ½ cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a small saucepan. Heat them together on very low flame. Keep on stirring it continuously using a whisk until well combined. Take the saucepan off the heat.
Remove the popsicles from the mold, drizzle them with the chocolate sauce using a spoon or dip the popsicles in the chocolate mixture to coat completely.
In just one minute the chocolate sauce will harden and become a hard shell once it comes in contact with the cold popsicle.
Serve immediately and relish!
Notes
In this recipe I have used Ikea Popsicle Mold. The above measurements are perfect for 6 popsicles. If your popsicle mold is big or if you want to make more number of popsicles, double the measurements.
Frozen bananas also work perfectly in the recipe.
An easy way to remove the popsicles from the mold once they're frozen, is simply to hold the popsicles in a glass of hot water.
