Wired Monkey Popsicles

These dreamy popsicles feature sweet banana, creamy peanut butter, and a jolt of coffee. They're the most satisfying summer treat... or maybe even breakfast??

Ingredients

  • Two medium-sized, ripe bananas
  • 0.5 c strongly brewed, cooled coffee
  • Heaping 0.25 c peanut butter
  • 0.25 c dark chocolate
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Brew and cool the coffee.
  2. Combine the bananas, coffee, and peanut butter in a high-power blender and blend until you have a creamy, smooth texture.
  3. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds or paper cups. This should fill about four regular-size popsicle molds, three large paper cups, or six small paper cups.
  4. Freeze the mixture for about an hour, or just until the top surface has barely solidified (keep an eye on them). Then insert popsicle sticks about two-thirds of the way in, making sure to keep the stick centered and upright.
  5. Freeze overnight. If using popsicle molds, run the molds under hot water for a minute before trying to remove them.
  6. For the drizzle: combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil and melt it on the stovetop or in the microwave until smooth and glossy, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Drizzle each popsicle with chocolate and return it to the freezer for at least a few minutes until hardened.
  7. Store your finished popsicles for up to a week in a tightly-sealed container in the freezer.
