A long, long time ago when my taste buds were very different and my metabolism much faster, I thought it was a great idea to live off of ice cream during the summer.
There are so many styles and flavors, how could anyone want to eat anything else?
Several cavities and increased pants sizes later - I understand.
When I stumbled across this recipe for "fro-nana" I once again thought to myself that eating "ice cream" each day would be possible. No added sugars, low fat, lots of flavor, and refreshingly cold - this recipe is a must-make for summer.
Taste it for yourself, let yourself fall in love, then check back later for more adventures in popsicle making!
Fudgey Fro-nana Pops
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1/3 c unsweetened 100% cocoa powder
- 2 T natural peanut butter (can substitute 1/4 c whole fat greek yogurt)
- 1/4 c unsweetened almond milk or light coconut milk
Combine
- Peel and slice the bananas then throw into a Ziploc bag or parchment paper lined tupperware and freeze overnight.
- Place the frozen bananas into a food processor, pulse a few times to break them up, then "crush" until small and grainy.
- Add the cocoa powder, peanut butter, and almond milk, then blend again until smooth, creamy, and resembles the texture of frozen yogurt. Note: you may need to add more peanut butter or almond milk as necessary.
- Spoon into a popsicle mold and freeze until set, then enjoy!
Tips: I used a butter knife to press the mixture into the mold; also running the mold under hot water for a few seconds makes it easier to remove the popsicle when you are ready to enjoy it!
