Nutella Banana Popsicles Recipe

My kids, like most, would be happy if they could live on chocolate. Of course, a diet of solely chocolate cake and chocolate cookies is probably not the best idea. So I like to get them their chocolate fix in a healthier way. Like, maybe, chocolate oatmeal, or this fun treat.

These Banana Nutella Frozen Yogurt Pops are sweet and swirled, fun and so simple to make with only three ingredients. And since they are made mainly from Greek yogurt and bananas (ohhh, and just a smidge of Nutella), they are also packed with protein and calcium. Health food, clearly!

Well, maybe I won’t go that far. But as far as frozen desserts, they are definitely not quite as indulgent as, say, Nutella Toffee Ice Cream. Yet they are still just as good at satisfying your sweet tooth.

Ingredients

As I said, you only need three things to make these popsicles!

  • Vanilla Greek Yogurt – you can also use plain, but you’ll want to test the sweetness when you mix it with the other ingredients to see if you need to make it sweeter.
  • Banana – a nice, ripe one will be naturally sweet and mash up well.
  • Nutella – or your favorite chocolate hazelnut spread.

How to make Yogurt Popsicles

It’s really super simple. Just make sure you scroll to the recipe card for the quantities and full set of instructions.

Make the yogurt mixture. Mash the bananas with a fork and stir into the vanilla yogurt until well-mixed. Repeat with the Nutella and Greek yogurt.

Fill and freeze. Fill the popsicle molds with the yogurt mixtures and freeze. Once frozen, run the outside of the mold under cool water and pull on the stick to remove the Banana Nutella Popsicles from the mold.

Decorate and Enjoy. Then if you like, you can drizzle with Nutella for good measure. Make sure to store the Greek yogurt pops in the freezer until you are ready to eat them!

Making the Swirls

To make the swirls, I put alternating dollops of the banana mixture and Nutella mixture in a plastic storage bag. Then cut off the corner and squeeze it into the molds. You can also just alternate putting dollops of each flavor directly into the molds and swirls with a skewer, butter knife, or chopstick.

Unmolding Popsicles

First, be sure that the Nutella Banana Yogurt Popsicles are frozen thoroughly, and use sturdy popsicle sticks to make them easier to grasp and pull out.

Run your popsicle mold under cool (not cold, not very warm) water to loosen the frozen yogurt pops. If you use water that is too warm, the sides will melt too much and they will be sticky and not unmold cleanly.

If that happens, just pop them pack in the freezer and try again once they have refrozen.

Are frozen yogurt popsicles gluten free?

Yes, all of the ingredients in these Nutella Banana Popsicles are gluten free, including the Nutella. If you use another brand of chocolate hazelnut spread, just be sure to confirm it is gluten free.

Occasionally some brands of flavored yogurt will use a gluten-containing ingredient as a thickener, so be sure to check the labels.

Things You’ll Need

I love making popsicles in the Norpro Frozen Ice Pop Maker. This mold is sturdy and comes with a cover to help line up the sticks and to act as a lid if you don’t unmold and eat them all right away. And it has that classic popsicle shape!

  1. OMG yum. These are to die for. I’m getting ready to do a round up post over on my blog, and I’ll for sure be featuring these and linking back to you! What an awesome idea! 🙂

    Just made these yesterday and my husband and I just tried them! Oh my, sooo good!! May have to try some with just the Nutella. These will be our go to summer treats! Thank you!

  3. I like the way the Bug cooks, More Chocolate for everyone! These freezer pops would be perfect as an after school snack for my kids! Thanks for sharing at Thursday’s Treasures, pinned and I’m featuring you on my FB page today!

  4. I would definitely call those treat healthy…and delicious….and gone, if they were in my freezer. Your son reminds me of my oldest when he was little. He’d turn the couch into a stove and whip all sorts of goodies with his little brother’s baby toys. Now that he is away at college, he is whipping up cinnamon rolls and other goodies, so I guess that play served him well.

  5. Oh, my, what a lovely flavor combination! It feels like fall outside today, but I’m certain I’ll need some cold pops to cool me down later in the month 🙂
