Makes: 10
Ingredients
For the popsicles
-
2
Large Bananas
-
1/2
cup Bailey’s Irish cream
-
1/2
cup Water
-
1
cup Cream of Coconut
For the chocolate shell
-
1/2
cup Bittersweet Chocolate Chips
-
2
tablespoons Coconut Oil
-
1/4
cup Toasted Shredded Sweetened Coconut
Directions
- Combine all of the popsicle ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Divide the mixture among 10-2.5 ounce popsicles molds, insert the popsicles sticks, and freeze until solid for at least 6 hours but preferably overnight.
- Once frozen solid, remove the popsicles from the molds and place on a sheet of parchment paper in the freezer while you prepare the chocolate shell.
- Combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 20 second bursts, stirring thoroughly after each round until smooth. Once smooth, allow to cool about 5 minutes. Then, dip each popsicle in the chocolate shell and sprinkle with the toasted coconut. Place back in the freezer to freeze solid or enjoy immediately.
