Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries, pureed
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Wash and hull the fresh strawberries, then puree them in a blender until smooth and completely liquefied.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the strawberry puree, sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until all ingredients are completely integrated and the mixture is smooth with no lumps.
- Pour the strawberry-chocolate mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small space at the top for expansion during freezing. Insert popsicle sticks into the center of each mold.
- Freeze the popsicles for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, until they are completely solid and firm.
- When ready to serve, prepare the chocolate coating by melting dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is completely smooth and glossy.
- Remove the frozen popsicles from their molds by running warm water briefly over the exterior of the molds.
- Quickly dip each popsicle into the melted chocolate, ensuring complete coverage. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Return the chocolate-covered popsicles to the freezer for 5-10 minutes to allow the chocolate shell to set completely before serving.
Tips
- • For the smoothest strawberry puree, use ripe, fresh strawberries and blend them thoroughly • Make sure to leave a small space at the top of your popsicle molds to allow for expansion during freezing • Use a microwave-safe bowl with a wide bottom for easier chocolate melting and dipping • Work quickly when dipping popsicles in chocolate to prevent them from melting • If you don't have popsicle molds, you can use small paper cups as an alternative • For a dairy-free version, substitute sweetened condensed milk with coconut cream • Store finished popsicles in a sealed freezer container to prevent freezer burn • Allow popsicles to sit at room temperature for 1-2 minutes before serving for the best texture
