How to Make Banana Popsicles
Step 1. Place all the ingredients into a blender. Blend until smooth.
Step 2. Fill the popsicle molds with the mixture. Make sure to leave a little space at the top for the popsicles to expand while they are freezing.
Step 3. Insert the popsicle sticks. Then place top on the mold.
Step 4. Freeze the popsicles for at least 4 hours. Then remove from the popsicle mold. It is easiest to remove if you run the molds under warm water to loosen.
Storage
You can either store them in the popsicle mold or place them in a separate container. Depending on the type of mold you have, sometimes air can get to the popsicles.
I prefer to remove them and store inside a freezer container. This is convenient for children to easily get one out of the freezer without having to remove from the mold each time.
If you decide to dip these popsicles in chocolate, they should be wrapped individually in plastic wrap before placing inside the storage container.
These homemade popsicles will last for 6 weeks in the freezer.
Recipe Tips
- Remove gently from mold. If you have trouble removing the popsicles, run warm water over the molds and they should pop right out. Just don’t use hot water or they might melt.
- Popsicle Molds. We prefer to use the silicone molds. They are easier to remove and you often don’t have to do anything extra. They are flexible and usually just easily peel away from each popsicle.
- Ripe bananas. You will need to use ripe bananas in the recipe. The sweeter they are, the better. The popsicles will have a sweeter flavor if the bananas are ripe.
- Quality ingredients. Use high quality ingredients in this recipe. It will make a difference in the taste.
- Add more milk if needed. If you find the mixture is too thick, you can add more milk to thin it out. Only add a small amount at a time to avoid using too much.
