Pro Tips Fruity Pebbles Banana Pops Recipe

Here are some pro tips for making the best Fruity Pebbles Banana Pops:

  • Choose Ripe Bananas: Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness. They should be yellow with a few brown speckles.
  • Slice Uniformly: When cutting the bananas into halves or thirds, try to make them as uniform in size as possible. This ensures even coating and freezing.
  • Use Popsicle Sticks: Insert popsicle sticks into the cut side of each banana piece before dipping. This makes them easier to handle and eat.
  • Pre-Freeze the Bananas: Before dipping in the yogurt mixture, freeze the banana pieces for about 20-30 minutes. This will help the coating adhere better and prevent the bananas from becoming too soft during the dipping process.
  • Use Greek Yogurt: Greek yogurt is thicker and provides better coverage than regular yogurt. It also adds a creamy texture to the pops.
  • Work Quickly: Once you’ve coated the bananas in the yogurt mixture, work quickly to roll them in the Fruity Pebbles. The yogurt will start to set, and you want the cereal to adhere well.
  • Double Coating: For an extra crispy and colorful look, you can double coat the banana pops. Dip them in the yogurt mixture and Fruity Pebbles twice, allowing them to freeze briefly between coatings.
  • Freeze Until Firm: Make sure to freeze the banana pops until they are completely firm. This usually takes at least 2-3 hours, but overnight is even better for a solid freeze.
  • Serve Chilled: Keep the banana pops in the freezer until you’re ready to serve them. They should be enjoyed frozen for the best texture and taste.
  • Get Creative: Don’t hesitate to experiment with different coatings and toppings. You can try other cereals, crushed nuts, or drizzles of chocolate or fruit syrup for variety.

Enjoy these fruity, crunchy, and frozen treats as a delightful and colorful dessert or snack.
