Dark Chocolate Raspberry Popsicles
Made with 100% pure fresh raspberries and dipped in dark chocolate.
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh raspberries
- 300 grams dark chocolate about 3 standard bars
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup optional
Instructions
- Wash the raspberries thoroughly and place into a blender. Blend until smooth. Taste if the raspberries are too tart and add a bit of maple syrup or liquid sweetener of choice. Blend again.
- Pour the mixture into popsicle moulds and tap on the counter to release any air bubbles. Place in the popsicle sticks. Freeze for 3-4 hours, until set or overnight.
- Once the popsicles are frozen, it's time to melt the chocolate. Place the chocolate and the coconut oil in a large bowl and place it on top of a small pot filled 1/3 of the way up with water (double boiler method). Bring the water to a low boil. Stir the chocolate periodically. It should melt in about 7-10 minutes. As it's melting line a baking sheet or freezer safe container with parchment paper and set aside.
- Once the chocolate is melted pour it into a glass jar that is just slightly larger than a popsicle. Remove the popsicles from the freezer and let sit on the counter for a few minutes. Remove them from the mold and dip each one into the chocolate. The chocolate will harden in about 1 minute. Place them onto the lined pan/container and place back in the freezer or enjoy right away!
Notes
*I recommend using fresh raspberries rather than frozen. If you do use frozen you might need to add more maple syrup.
*Make sure to put your melted chocolate into a glass jar because there will be leftovers. This way you can easily store and reheat the leftover chocolate. To do so fill a small pot with water 1/3 of the way up. Place the glass jar directly into the pot and heat on low until the chocolate is melted. Use it to dip more popsicles or fruit or to drizzle on anything :)
