Calories: 213kcal
Ingredients
Almond Coconut Popsicles
- 1 14-ounce can full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup coconut milk from a carton see note*
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup see note**
- 1 teaspoon pure almond extract
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
Chocolate Coating:
- 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder or raw cacao powder
- 1/3 cup coconut oil melted
- ¼ cup + 1 Tbsp pure maple syrup or liquid sweetener of choice
- Pinch sea salt
Instructions
Prepare the Popsicles:
- Add all of the ingredients for the popsicles to a blender and blend until well combined.
- Pour popsicle base into a popsicle mold. Insert sticks, cover, and freeze until solid, about 5 hours.
- When ready to coat the popsicles in chocolate, remove from the freezer and run hot water over the outside of the mold for a few seconds in order to release each popsicle.
Prepare the Chocolate Coating:
- Heat all of the ingredients for the chocolate coating in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until the cocoa powder has dissolved and all of the ingredients are well combined. Remove from heat and allow mixture to cool 1 minute.
- Use a spoon to drizzle the chocolate over each popsicle, then immediately sprinkle shredded coconut (or chopped nuts) over the chocolate. Place popsicles on parchment paper or in a tupperware container and either immediately serve or freeze. If saving popsicles for later, freeze on parchment paper for about 15 minutes before transferring to a zip lock bag for storage.
Notes
*You can use any unsweetened non-dairy milk you'd like, such as coconut milk (either from a can or a carton), cashew milk, almond milk, etc.
**You can also use agave nectar, coconut palm syrup, or honey
