Although the ingredients are naturally gluten- and dairy-free, sometimes they may be processed in facilities that also handle gluten or dairy.
How to Make Homemade Popsicles
First, let’s make the fudgy chocolate popsicles!
In a high-speed blender, blitz coconut milk, almond butter, water, cacao powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Divide equally into 5 popsicle molds. Cover and insert popsicle sticks. Freeze until fully frozen, for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Once the popsicles are frozen and ready, we’re going to prepare the chocolate shell.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave for 30 seconds. Whisk together to combine until smooth. Microwave longer if necessary, 15 seconds at a time, until smoothly combined.
Run the mold under the running water for 5-10 seconds to help release the popsicle from the mold. Remove the popsicles from the mold. Use a spoon to drizzle chocolate over the popsicles. Quickly sprinkle almonds and cacao nibs over the drizzle of chocolate before it sets. Freeze if necessary to set the toppings. Enjoy!
