Nolan Adimulam’s Banana & Choc Chip Cookie Pops Recipe
MAKES 3 dozen cookie pops
Ingredients
¾ cup Butter, softened
½ cup Granulated sugar
½ cup Icing sugar
1 large Egg
1 ripe Banana, mashed
90ml Sunfoil Sunflower oil
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
1 cup Champagne Valley flour
1 cup Villa Dore’ Green Banana flour
½ teaspoon Baking soda
½ teaspoon Oryx Salt
½ teaspoon Cream of tartar
60ml Milk, room temperature
1 cup Sweetened Choc chips
100g Chocolate, chopped
Flaked Almonds, flaked coconut and sweets of your choice etc.
10 cm white craft sticks
METHOD
Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy; add the sugars, beating well.
Add the egg, banana, Sunfoil Sunflower oil, and vanilla extract, beating until just blended.
Combine the dry ingredients; add this to the butter mixture, blending well and add the milk and choc chips. Cover and chill the dough for 2 hours or overnight.
Weigh into 50g balls and roll. Place apart on greased baking sheets. Insert craft sticks 1cm into each cookie to resemble a lollipop. (You can store the cookie dough in the freezer for up to 3 months, defrost and use as required)
Bake at 220˚C for 15 minutes or until set. Let cool for 2 minutes on baking sheets; remove cookie pops to wire racks to cool completely.
Melt chocolate in a stainless steel or glass bowl over a pot of simmering water. Dip in or drizzle the melted chocolate over the cookie pops and decorate as you desire. Allow chocolate to set and serve.
