Yield: 10 popsicles
Ingredients
5 large bananas
½ cup nutella
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon vanilla
⅓ cup roasted and salted shelled pistachios, crushed
Instructions
Peel the bananas and divide into fourths. Place the banana pieces in the food processor along with the cinnamon and vanilla. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth. You should have about 2.5 cups of banana mixture.
To easily add the nutella to the popsicle mold, it is best to place the nutella in a small ziplock bag. Using scissors, cut a very small corner off of the bag.
Now you are ready to assemble the pops. Start with a layer of banana in each mold. Then squeeze the nutella on top of the banana layer. Keep alternating until the molds are nearly full. Most people recommend leaving a little space for expansion during freezing.
Cover popsicles and insert wooden sticks. Then freeze for at least 5 hours or overnight.
To easily remove pops from molds, run warm water on the outside of the mold for about 5-10 seconds.
To serve, place the crushed pistachios on a plate and then gently roll the popsicle in the pistachio until desired amount is on the pop! And enjoy!
