Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 popsicles
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup dried figs, chopped
- 1 cup almond milk
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients: 2 ripe bananas, 1/2 cup tahini, 1/4 cup honey, 1/2 cup dried figs (chopped), and 1 cup almond milk.
- Peel the ripe bananas and place them in a mixing bowl. Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the bananas until smooth and creamy.
- In the same mixing bowl, add the tahini, honey, and almond milk to the mashed bananas. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is smooth.
- Next, fold in the chopped dried figs gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Prepare your popsicle molds by ensuring they are clean and dry. If you’re using wooden sticks, make sure they are ready for use as well.
- Pour the banana-tahini mixture into the popsicle molds, filling them to the top. Leave a little space at the top to allow for expansion as they freeze.
- If using wooden sticks, insert them into the center of each mold. If your molds come with lids, cover them securely.
- Place the filled molds in the freezer and allow them to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until they are completely solid.
- Once the popsicles are frozen, remove them from the freezer. To release the popsicles, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds or gently twist the molds.
- Carefully pull the popsicles out of the molds and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious Tahini Fig Banana Popsicles as a healthy treat!
Tips
- Use Ripe Bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and creamier your popsicles will be. Look for bananas with plenty of brown spots for optimal flavor.
- Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter popsicle, feel free to add more honey to taste. You can also substitute maple syrup or agave for a vegan option.
- Experiment with Add-ins: Don’t hesitate to get creative! You can add other dried fruits, nuts, or even a splash of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
- Choose the Right Molds: Silicone molds work wonderfully for easy removal. If using plastic molds, running warm water over them will help release the popsicles without breaking them.
- Perfect Freezing Time: For the best texture, allow the popsicles to freeze for at least 6 hours. If you're in a hurry, a minimum of 4 hours will work, but they may be softer.
- Serve with a Twist: For an extra treat, dip the popsicles in melted dark chocolate and sprinkle with crushed nuts before serving!
