Ingredients
Scale
Ice Pops
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/4 cup sweetener (such as honey, agave, or sugar)
Chocolate Shell
- 1 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
Instructions
- Prepare the avocado mixture: Scoop the avocado flesh into a blender, add the milk and sweetener, and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Freeze the pops: Pour the avocado mixture into popsicle molds and insert sticks. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely solid.
- Melt the chocolate: Gently melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring in between, or use a double boiler until smooth.
- Dip the frozen pops: Remove the ice pops from the molds and quickly dip each one into the melted chocolate, allowing the chocolate to harden into a shell. Place on parchment paper and freeze again briefly to set the shell.
Notes
- You can substitute milk with almond or coconut milk for a dairy-free option.
- Use a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup for added flavor.
- If the chocolate shell melts too quickly while dipping, chill the chocolate slightly before dipping again.
- For added texture, sprinkle chopped nuts or shredded coconut on the chocolate before it sets.
