Once you've sliced the bananas into bite-sized pieces, the next step is to coat them in yogurt. This not only adds flavor but also provides a creamy texture that pairs beautifully with the chocolate. To ensure an even yogurt coating, dip each banana slice into the yogurt mixture, allowing it to be fully coated.

Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

1 cup Greek yogurt (choose plain or your favorite flavored variety)

1 cup dark chocolate chips (preferably 70% cacao for rich flavor)

1 tablespoon coconut oil (helps achieve a smooth chocolate coating)

1/4 cup crushed nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans for crunch)

1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional, for extra texture and flavor)

Wooden popsicle sticks (8 pieces)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Start by peeling the ripe bananas. Cut each banana in half crosswise to create two pieces. Take a wooden popsicle stick and gently insert it into the cut end of each banana half, creating a handle for your pops.

    Freeze the Bananas: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the banana halves with sticks upright on the parchment. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the bananas to freeze for approximately 1–2 hours, or until they are firm to the touch.

      Make the Yogurt Coating: In a mixing bowl, add your chosen Greek yogurt. If you’d like a sweeter yogurt, feel free to drizzle in some honey or maple syrup, adjusting to taste. Mix well until the yogurt is smooth and creamy.

        Coat the Bananas: Once the bananas are thoroughly frozen, remove them from the freezer. Dip each frozen banana half into the yogurt mixture, making sure they are completely covered. Allow any excess yogurt to drip off before moving on to the next step.

          Prepare Chocolate Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat the mixture in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between each interval until the chocolate is completely smooth and glossy.

            Chocolate Dip the Yogurt-Coated Bananas: Using a fork, take each yogurt-coated banana and dip it into the melted chocolate. Ensure they are nicely coated and let any excess chocolate drip off before you proceed.

              Add Toppings: While the chocolate coating is still wet, roll or sprinkle each pop with the crushed nuts and, if desired, shredded coconut for added flavor and crunch.

                Freeze Again: Carefully return the coated pops to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Place them back in the freezer for an additional 2–3 hours, or until the chocolate coating feels firm and set.

                  Serve: When ready to enjoy, take the pops from the freezer and let them sit for about a minute. This short wait allows the chocolate to slightly soften, making it easier to take a delicious bite!
