What Are Chocolate Dipped Bananas?

Bananas are frozen on popsicle sticks, dipped in melted dark chocolate and sprinkled with ALL KINDS of yummy toppings.

What Other Toppings Will Work?

• shredded coconut
• crushed banana chips
• pistachios
• candied ginger
• dried apricots
• dried cranberries
• dried blueberries
• sprinkles (they make vegan sprinkles too!)
• dried cherries
• dried pineapple
• mini chocolate chips
• peanuts
• slivered almonds
• small mini candies of your choice!

How To Make Frozen Bananas

Your bananas will need to be on the sticks and frozen before decorating. This helps the chocolate firm quickly and the toppings to not slide off!

Prep Ahead ~ 2 hours

1. Line an airtight container with parchment baking paper.
2. Peel the bananas. Insert a popsicle stick or a large skewer pushing it into the banana about halfway through. Place the banana in the prepared container and freeze for 2 hours.
3. Have all your toppings ready to go; chop or crush your nuts, candy or dried fruit.

Dip and decorate bananas

1. Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water.
2. Dip 1 frozen banana into the melted chocolate and using a spoon, cover any parts that remain uncoated.
3. Sprinkle the frozen banana with the crushed nuts or dried fruit and set aside on parchment paper-lined box in the freezer.
4. The melted chocolate becomes hard quickly, so work fast.
5. When all the bananas are dipped and coated, pop the lid on the container and freeze until ready to serve.

Chocolate-Dipped bananas always remind me of the best days of summer when I lived on Balboa Island in Southern California.

There is a small shop on the island that is famous for their frozen bananas and sells them to the locals and tourists topped with all kinds of fantastic toppings, and has for as long as I can remember.

Enjoy!
