Banana Split Popsicles made with sorbets, chocolate shell and crushed peanuts. AÂ healthy dairy-free take on the classic ice cream shoppe dessert!
Keeping the little ones interests in mind I went with my oldest’s favorite dessert. The Banana Split. It is such a favorite around here I actually also once made a Banana Split Ice Cream burger and more recently made Banana Split Pancake Bites.
These Banana Split Popsicles are a total breeze to make using Sambazon’s Açaà Chocolate & Chocolate Chip Sorbet and Original Açaà Berry Sorbet for the berry and chocolate flavors. Instead of going with vanilla and bringing dairy into the mix I made a banana sorbet with Bob’s Red Mill Chia Seeds and Protein and Fiber Booster. It’s like going to your favorite smoothie shop but in popsicle form. A quick dip in some homemade chocolate shell and a sprinkling of freeze dried strawberries and peanuts was the final topper.
To recap we started with 6Â Banana Split Popsicles and 3 taste testers. 15 minutes later I had 6 popsicle sticks left.
Tools used in the making of this Banana Split Popsicles recipe:
Popsicle Mold: Easy to use and wash, totally inexpensive.
Vitamix Blender: Making the banana sorbet is a breeze with this blender, we make a ton of soup, smoothies, sauces, dressings, etc in it.
Freeze Dried Strawberries: With toddlers in the house I definitely buy these in bulk because they instantly stop tantrums, but I love using them in recipes too (like my Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Bars)
Dairy Free Dark Chocolate: I normally use Guittard (which is not dairy free), but I wanted to honor the ingredients here and keep the dairy free theme going. I also have been known to snack on these chocolate bars (and Chuao’s Potato Chip Chocolate Bar which is so good I buy them in bulk).
