Ingredients

4 bananas
1 bar Mexican chocolate, roughly chopped
3/4 cup chocolate chips
4 tablespoons crema mexicana or heavy cream

Toppings:

Peanuts or walnuts, finely chopped
Colored or chocolate-flavored sprinkles
Shaved coconut

Directions

1

First peel and cut the bananas in half at the middle of each one to form 8 small ‘pops.’ Then insert one popsicle stick into the base of each banana half. Separately, line a tray or dish with wax paper and place the pops on top. Freeze for 30 minutes.
2

Meanwhile prepare the banana toppings; place the chopped nuts, flavored sprinkles and or shaved coconut in separate dishes, ready for dipping. Then in a medium-sized bowl, combine the chopped Mexican chocolate, chocolate chips and cream. Place the bowl over over a bain marie or water bath on low heat until the ingredients are completely melted. Remove from heat and mix well.
3

Next, remove the bananas from the freezer and coat each one completely in melted chocolate.
4

Then dip in your favorite toppings before returning each pop to the wax paper. Freeze for at least two hours before serving. ¡Disfrute!
