Professional Step-by-Step Preparation
-
Creamy base: Peel the bananas and blend them with the milk (or plant-based drink) and the Stevia + Eritrytol 1:1 de Castelló until smooth and lump-free.
-
Molding: Pour the mixture into ice pop molds. If you don't have molds, you can use small glass cups.
-
Initial freezing: Insert the sticks and freeze for at least 4 hours until completely solid.
-
Chocolate coating: Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave (in 30-second intervals so it doesn't burn) along with the teaspoon of coconut oil. Stir until glossy.
-
Final dip: Unmold the ice pops (running the mold under warm water if needed) and quickly dip them in the melted chocolate. Because the ice pop is very cold, the chocolate will harden almost instantly.
-
Optional topping: If you want a crunchy touch, sprinkle the chopped nuts over the chocolate before it fully sets.

These ice pops are an excellent source of potassium and magnesium, essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system. By using Stevia + Eritrytol 1:1 de Castelló , we eliminate refined sugars, making this dessert much easier to digest and helping keep energy levels stable. Dark chocolate provides antioxidants (flavonoids) that protect heart health.
