Healthier Banana Fudgesicles

4 / 25 / 135 / 1 / 13

Healthier Banana Fudgesicles | Mama Papa BubbaThe other night, Brad went out for Saturday night movie treats after G was in bed.  I requested a fudgesicle, and he came home with a box of 18.  Oy. Several fudgesicles into the box, I decided we’d better come up with a healthier version, stat.

IMG 8717Here’s our line up of ingredients…  Frozen banana chunks, cocoa powder, pure maple syrup, and  pure vanilla.  Plus a popsicle mould of course.

One ingredient ice creamIMG 8724To get started, we basically turned out frozen bananas into one ingredient ice cream by adding small batches into our food processor at a time, blending them into a thick soft serve texture.

IMG 8731And that’s it.  We simply scooped the soft serve into our popsicle moulds and popped them in the freezer overnight.  

IMG 8931This was the end result.  Thick chocolatey banana pops that are bound to satisfy a sweet tooth or chocolate craving.

IMG 8941What does Miss G think? Well, after finishing her first one, she turned to see mine still almost whole, and said, “Mine’s a little bit almost all gone, Mama, so I want to trade wif you.” as if she was doing me a favour – hah!  Thanks for thinking of your mama, Miss G.

Healthier Banana Fudgesicles

  • 3 medium bananas, frozen
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons of cocoa
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons of pure maple syrup (truly optional – they’d be sweet enough without)
  • 1/2 teaspoon of pure vanilla

Blend bananas in a food processor until they reach a thick soft serve consistency.  Add in the cocoa, maple syrup, and vanilla and blend again.  Scoop mixture into popsicle moulds and freeze overnight.

Enjoy!
