Banana cream popsicles are healthier than the store-bought ice pops and made with just four ingredients. These popsicles are dairy-free and have no refined sugar. They take less than 5 minutes to make and the result is the perfect easy summer treat for you and your kids
Banana Cream Popsicles
These popsicles are very creamy, all thanks to the delicious coconut cream. If you haven’t had coconut cream before, you might be hooked after this. It’s like the most decadent treat that you won’t feel guilty eating because it’s actually healthy. Coconut cream is a great source of healthy fats, protein, antioxidants, magnesium, folate and choline. Healthy fats and protein will provide your body with longer, more sustainable energy.
I make whipped coconut cream and strawberry parfaits with coconut cream all the time. And recently I whipped up these homemade fudgesicles which were a total hit! Basically, we are a family obsessed with coconut cream.
Banana Cream Popsicle Ingredients
You only need four ingredients to make these delicious popsicles.
- Coconut Cream – To make these popsicles extra creamy, use coconut cream (not coconut milk). You might have to try a few brands before you find one you like. I’ve found that the coconut cream from Native Forest and Let’s Do Organic are both good!
- Bananas – You’ll need two bananas, one whole and one sliced into thin pieces.
- Maple Syrup – For sweeteners, I like to use maple syrup in my recipes. You can also use honey or Lakanto Sugar Free Maple Syrup.
- Vanilla Extract – This one is optional, but I like to add a bit of good quality pure vanilla extract.
Stainless Steel Popsicle Molds
Can I just take a quick second to share my new purchase!? I love it so much and I got mine from here. These popsicle molds are seriously the best!! They are stainless steel and will last forever. Each popsicle mold can be removed from the container to easily pour ingredients into. I’ve been eyeing this stainless steel version for a while now as it will last us forever. I’m slowly trying to move away from plastic and purchase longer-lasting kitchen tools instead.
