Ingredients Needed

To make these chocolate frozen banana pops, you’ll need:

• 3 bananas
• 2 to 3 tablespoons raw cacao powder
• 2 liquid stevia drops
• 3 ounces water
• 1/4 cup raw cacao nibs
• 1/4 cup raw goji berries

How to Make Chocolate Covered Banana Pops

Peel two of the bananas and cut each one in half. Carefully insert a popsicle stick into the cut end of each banana half.

Place the bananas on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 30 to 60 minutes, or until they’re firm but not completely frozen solid.

Meanwhile, add the remaining banana, cacao powder, stevia, and water to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, creating a rich chocolate sauce.

Remove the bananas from the freezer and dip each one into the chocolate mixture until well coated. Sprinkle immediately with cacao nibs and goji berries so they stick to the chocolate.

Return the chocolate covered banana pops to the baking sheet and freeze for another 20 to 30 minutes, or until the coating is set.

Serve straight from the freezer for a cool, creamy dessert.
