Ingredients
Scale
- 180 ml coconut milk
- 180 ml heavy cream (use additional coconut milk for dairy-free version)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch sea salt
- 33 grams shredded coconut, plus extra for garnish
- 85 grams dark chocolate, melted (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)
- pinch sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine coconut milk, heavy cream, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavor.
- Fold in the shredded coconut, stirring until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Pour or ladle the prepared mixture evenly into popsicle molds. Place molds in the freezer and freeze for several hours until completely set.
- Melt dark chocolate and coconut oil together in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, or use a microwave in short intervals, mixing between each round. Remove from heat and stir in a pinch of sea salt.
- Carefully remove the frozen popsicles from the molds. Place them onto a wax paper-lined baking sheet or cutting board. Return to the freezer to keep them firm.
- One by one, remove each pop from the freezer. Hold over the melted chocolate and drizzle or pour the coating evenly with a small ladle. Quickly return each pop to the wax paper-lined sheet in the freezer. Sprinkle with extra shredded coconut if desired.
- Once all pops are coated, return them to the freezer to set the chocolate. Store popsicles covered in the freezer until ready to serve.
- Before serving, allow popsicles to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Serve immediately for optimal texture.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the heavy cream with more coconut milk.
- Adjust the amount of chocolate and coconut oil based on your preference for coating.
- Enjoy the popsicles within a week for the best flavor and texture.
