Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 fresh bananas (not too ripe)
- ½ cup Greek vanilla yogurt
- 24 mini dark chocolate chips (for eyes and mouth)
- 8 popsicle sticks
Instructions
- Prepare the bananas: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the two bananas in half width-wise, then cut each half in half length-wise so you end up with 8 banana slices total.
- Insert popsicle sticks: Insert a popsicle stick into the bottom of each banana section. Place all the banana pieces on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze the banana slices: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze the banana slices for 1 hour or up to 24 hours until they are firm enough to dip.
- Dip in yogurt: Pour the Greek vanilla yogurt into a bowl. Dip each frozen banana slice into the yogurt, coating it evenly.
- Add chocolate chip faces: Immediately press 3 mini dark chocolate chips onto each yogurt-coated banana slice to create eyes and a mouth, forming spooky ghost faces.
- Final freeze: Place the decorated banana popsicles back onto the parchment paper and freeze for about 1 hour until the yogurt coating is firm.
- Serve and enjoy: Once fully frozen, serve your Boo-nana Popsicles chilled and enjoy this spooky, healthy treat.
Notes
- Use bananas that are ripe but still firm to maintain shape after freezing.
- You can substitute Greek vanilla yogurt with plain Greek yogurt and a little vanilla extract if preferred.
- For a dairy-free option, use a plant-based yogurt alternative.
- Work quickly when dipping and decorating to prevent the banana slices from thawing.
- Store popsicles in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week.
