Most everyone enjoys chocolate (I know I do!), so let's start with the chocolate, fudgy, almost "girl scout cookie" pops! The pictures for the ready-to-eat popsicles are at the end...please be patient...I had to be! :-)
#1 Samoa Pops
Tasty ingredients to make Your Fudgy Pops! Try not to eat too many chocolate chips while making these little guys...although, I have no idea of anyone who would do that anyway! ;-) |
1 cup vegan chocolate chips
1 1/2 Tbsp coconut oil
1 + 3/4 cups coconut milk (canned or from a carton)
1/4 cup organic finely shredded unsweetened coconut flakes
1 1/2 Tbsp coconut oil
1 + 3/4 cups coconut milk (canned or from a carton)
1/4 cup organic finely shredded unsweetened coconut flakes
Directions:
Melt the chocolate & oil in a bowl placed over a small pot of boiling water just until it melts. Turn off the heat & whisk in the coconut milk. Stir in coconut flakes. Cool mixture before pouring it into the molds to freeze. Yields 8 small popsicles. Freeze for at least 2 hours.
ENJOY!
ENJOY!
...next popsicle, please step up & freeze...
