Ingredients
Scale
Banana Popsicles
- 2 fresh bananas, not too ripe
- ½ cup Greek vanilla yogurt
- 24 mini dark chocolate chips
- 8 popsicle sticks
Instructions
- Prepare the banana slices: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice each banana in half width-wise and then in half length-wise to create 8 banana sections total.
- Insert popsicle sticks and freeze: Insert a popsicle stick into the bottom of each banana section. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. Freeze for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours, until firm.
- Coat with yogurt and decorate: Remove the frozen banana sections from the freezer. Dip each banana section into the Greek vanilla yogurt until fully coated.
- Add chocolate chip faces: Immediately place 3 mini dark chocolate chips on each coated banana to create eyes and a mouth for the ghost.
- Final freezing: Place the popsicles back on the parchment-lined tray and freeze for about 1 more hour until the yogurt coating is set.
- Serve and enjoy: Once fully frozen, your spooky boo-nana popsicles are ready to serve. Enjoy this fun and refreshing treat!
Notes
- Use bananas that are slightly firm and not overly ripe for best slicing and shape retention.
- Greek vanilla yogurt provides a creamy texture and natural sweetness; substitute with plain yogurt mixed with vanilla extract if preferred.
- Mini dark chocolate chips work best for decorating small facial features.
- Ensure the popsicles are fully frozen before serving for the best texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container or freezer bag to prevent freezer burn.
