Ingredients

(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)

• Bananas

• Biscoff spread (smooth or crunchy)

• Biscoff cookies, finely crushed

• Optional: coconut oil or vegetable oil to thin the spread slightly

• Optional: wooden or silicone popsicle sticks

• Optional garnishes: sea salt or chopped nuts for extra texture

Directions

1. Prepare the bananas by peeling and slicing them in half crosswise. Insert a popsicle stick into the flat end of each half.

2. If the Biscoff spread is too thick, gently warm it or mix in a small amount of oil to achieve a smooth dipping consistency.

3. Dip each banana half into the Biscoff spread, ensuring an even coating. Allow excess to drip off.

4. Roll or sprinkle the coated banana in the crushed Biscoff cookies until well covered.

5. Arrange the pops upright on a tray lined with parchment paper.

6. Freeze for at least 2 hours or until fully set.

7. To present, optionally sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt or chopped nuts. Serve immediately.

Servings and Timing

• Servings: Makes 8–10 pops (depending on banana size)

• Prep time: Approximately 10 minutes

• Freeze time: 2 hours minimum; for best results, freeze 3–4 hours

Variations

• Chocolate-dipped version: Swap Biscoff spread for melted dark or milk chocolate before rolling in cookie crumbs.

• Nutty crunch: Add finely chopped nuts mixed with the cookie crumbs for extra texture.

• Fruit twist: Replace bananas with strawberries or kiwi slices and use the same coating technique.

• Vegan adaptation: Use vegan Biscoff spread and ensure cookies are dairy-free.

Storage/Reheating

• Storage: Store pops in an airtight container or sealed bag in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

• Thawing: Remove from freezer and thaw at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving for optimal texture.

• Do Not Reheat: These are meant to be served frozen; reheating will melt the coating.

FAQs

What size bananas work best for Biscoff Banana Pops?

Medium to large bananas work best. They provide a good balance between manageable size and satisfying substance.

Can I make these ahead of time for a party?

Yes, they freeze well. Prepare in advance and store in the freezer until ready to serve. Pull them out 5–10 minutes before serving.

How do I prevent the coating from sliding off?

Make sure the bananas are completely dry and press the crumbs gently into the spread. If the spread is too thin, it may slide; thicken slightly for better adhesion.

Can I use other types of spreads?

Absolutely. Nut butter, melted chocolate, or peanut butter all work well with similar results.

Do the pops get freezer burn?

To avoid freezer burn, use an airtight container or freezer-safe bag and remove excess air before sealing.

What if I don’t have popsicle sticks?

You can serve them on a tray without sticks or use toothpicks or mini skewers instead.

How do I crush the cookies evenly?

Place cookies in a sealed bag and gently roll with a rolling pin until fine crumbs form. You can leave some larger bits for texture, if desired.

Are these suitable for children?

Yes, they are generally child-friendly, but supervision is advised, especially for younger children to avoid choking risks.

Can I make them sugar-free?

Substitute with sugar-free Biscoff spread and cookies if available. The overall taste will be similar.

Can the pops stick together in the freezer?

Arrange them with space between each pop on the tray before freezing. Once solid, you may transfer them to a container with parchment paper between layers.
