Banana Pops Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

6 small ripe bananas
6 popsicle sticks
6 tbsp chocolate syrup, (optional)

Recipe Instructions:

For each pop, carefully insert a popsicle stick into the bottom of 1 banana, burying about half of the stick. Wrap each banana individually in plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 6 hours.

To serve, unwrap each banana, and eat like a popsicle. If desired, lay each banana on a plate, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of chocolate syrup before serving. To combat dripping chocolate, hold the pop over the plate while eating it.

Frozen banana pops will keep in the freezer, tightly wrapped, for 2 to 3 weeks.

This recipe yields 6 servings. Serving size: 1 pop.

Exchanges Per Serving: 1 Fruit.

Comments: Frozen banana pops are a snap to make and taste a lot like ice cream. For extra pizzazz, drizzle them with chocolate syrup before serving. The recipe calls for using popsicle sticks. If they are unavailable, the end of each pop can be held in a folded piece of plastic wrap.

"Americans, more than any other culture on earth, are cookbook cooks; we learn to make our meals not from any oral tradition, but from a text. The just-wed cook brings to the new household no carefully copied collection of the family's cherished recipes, but a spanking new edition of ‘Fannie Farmer’ or ‘The Joy of Cooking’."

~ John Thorne, American food writer
