Easing back into social media with a delicious and very healthy treat for you all!
My parents were quite particular about what my sisters and I ate as kids. Dried apricots and frozen grapes were as close as we got to eating lollies, until we were about 10 years old. And one of our other "treats" was frozen banana 'popsicles' covered in shredded coconut.
This recipe is based on the same premise - how delicious ripe banana is when it is frozen, and how well it mixes with a bit of fatty goodness - like coconut, or indeed... our beloved cacao!
๐๐ป๐ด๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐
๐ 3 medium ripe bananas
๐ wooden craft sticks
๐100g Soma Cacao (Karkar Island preferable)
๐ 1/4 cup maple syrup
๐1-2 tablespoons olive oil or coconut oil
๐ 150g cacao nibs (or coconut shreds or chopped walnuts)
๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐
1. Peel and cut each banana in half. Insert a craft stick into each half (optional - freeze bananas for 1 hr prior - it will be easier to slide them onto the craft stick without them falling apart)
2. Melt the Soma Cacao with the oil using the double boiler method or in the microwave in 30 second intervals.
3. Once completely melted, remove cacao from heat and stir in the maple syrup.
4. Dip each banana into the chocolatey mixture.
5. Carefully pour cacao nibs (or shredded coconut, chopped nuts etc.) on top of the chocolate dipped bananas over a shallow plate to catch the excess.
6. Place on a tray covered in parchment paper. Freeze overnight and serve chilled - enjoy!
