Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
• 2 cups chocolate chips
• 6 popsicle sticks
• 6 firm bananas, unpeeled
• ½ cup shredded coconut, or as needed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Cut 1 inch off the bottom of each banana and gently insert a popsicle stick into each one. Carefully remove and discard banana peels. Place bananas on the prepared baking sheet and freeze until solid, at least 2 hours.

Step 3

Place chocolate chips and shortening in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Dip frozen bananas into the melted chocolate and roll in coconut.

Step 5

Eat immediately or return to the freezer until ready to serve.
