It’s raging summer here and temperatures are expected over 100 degrees tomorrow and Thursday. To get ready, we made some whole fruit popsicles.
I peeled whole kiwi (6) and sliced each into 3 pieces. Inserted a stick (we used craft sticks and no one died or got sick.) and froze them on trays. I also found 6 ripe bananas, that we broke in half and froze too.
Then we melted 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips with 1/2 cup of coconut oil. To make a really thin chocolate that hardens immediately on the cold fruit.
Then dipped each piece.
As the chocolate got shallower in the cup, we used a spoon to help.
We had just a touch of chocolate leftover and used it to drizzle designs on the finished pops.
Brandon somehow managed to get chocolate all over his white shirt--should have seen that one coming, lol.
The Kiwi popsicles were so cute–but pretty sour. The bananas are by far our favorite. Now I’m wondering…what other fruit can I put a stick in to freeze and dip?
STRAWBERRIES doesn’t that sound yummy!!!
Mangos, peaches and apricots would probably work well. You could also thread several raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, or grapes, onto bamboo skewers . Grapes are especially delicious frozen.
strawberries! Raspberries if you can swing it… watermelon! Ooh… that sounds so good. Thanks for the great idea!
Ok we did this with JUST bananas it was……SO YUMMY….my kids loved it , the hardest part was waiting for the bananas to freeze!!!!
