# Ingredients:
→ Base Mixture
01 -
400 ml coconut whipped cream
02 -
215 g coconut condensed milk
03 -
55 g high quality cacao powder
04 -
Pinch of salt
05 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
→ Optional Chocolate Coating
06 -
100 g dark chocolate
07 -
1 teaspoon coconut oil or peanut butter
08 -
Chopped nuts (optional)
# Directions:
01 -
Arrange popsicle moulds and sticks, ensuring all ingredients are correctly measured and at hand.
02 -
Place coconut whipped cream, coconut condensed milk, cacao powder, salt, and vanilla if using into a small saucepan.
03 -
Warm the mixture over low heat, stirring frequently, just until the blend is uniform and pourable. Do not allow to boil.
04 -
Distribute the mixture evenly among 8 popsicle moulds. Insert sticks and place in freezer for a minimum of 3 hours until fully set.
05 -
For metal or plastic moulds, briefly dip in very hot water for 3 seconds, then extract popsicles by pulling on the sticks. For silicone moulds, simply press each out gently.
06 -
Let popsicles stand at room temperature for a few minutes to slightly soften, especially in cooler conditions.
07 -
If coating, line a tray with baking paper. Melt dark chocolate and coconut oil or peanut butter using a double boiler method until liquid.
08 -
Dip popsicles into the chocolate and place on the tray. Sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired.
09 -
Transfer dipped popsicles to freezer for 5 minutes to set the chocolate. Store popsicles in an airtight container or ziplock bag until needed.
# Notes:
01 -
Allow popsicles to soften slightly before eating for the best creamy texture.
02 -
For a richer flavor, use high-quality cacao powder rather than regular cocoa.
