BBC Popsicles
A dessert take on the popular beach cocktail, these BBC popsicles are sweet and creamy, made from Bailey’s, banana, and coconut. The whole thing is dipped in a chocolate shell and sprinkled with toasted coconut.
- Prep Time: 5
- Cook Time: 360
- Total Time: 6 hours 5 minutes
- Yield: 10
Ingredients
For the popsicles:
- 2 large bananas (about 280 gm total once peeled)
- ½ cup (120 mL) Bailey’s Irish Cream Liquor
- 1 cup (240 mL) cream of coconut
- ½ cup (120 mL) water
For the chocolate shell:
- ½ cup (90 gm) bittersweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- ¼ cup toasted coconut, if desired
Instructions
- Combine all of the popsicle ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Divide the mixture among 10 popsicles molds (see notes), insert the popsicles sticks, and freeze until solid for at least 6 hours but preferably overnight.
- Once frozen solid, remove the popsicles from the molds and place on a sheet of parchment paper in the freezer while you prepare the chocolate shell.
- Combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 20 second bursts, stirring thoroughly after each round until smooth. Once smooth, allow to cool about 5 minutes. Then, dip each popsicle in the chocolate shell and sprinkle with the toasted coconut. Place back in the freezer to freeze solid or enjoy immediately.
Notes
- I use a popsicle mold that makes 10-2.5 ounces popsicles. Your yield will change if you make smaller or larger popsicles. The preparation and ingredients will remain the same.
- The alcohol in these popsicles will cause them to melt faster than some popsicles. Be sure to keep them frozen until you’re ready to enjoy them.
- If you are unable to find large bananas, use a few smaller ones. Total weight of the edible portion should be 280 gm.
- The chocolate shell is entirely optional. For a quick boozy treat, just skip the shell.
