Delicious Avocado & Blueberry Popsicles
Servings: 4
Equipment
- popsicle mold (this could be silicone molds, glasses, plastic cups, ...)
- popsicle sticks (wooden sticks or reusable plastic or metal ones, even teaspoons can work)
- blender
- freezer
Ingredients
Popsicles:
- 130 g blueberries (frozen or fresh)
- 130 g avocado
- ½ lemon, juiced
- ½ tsp honey (use maple or agave syrup for a vegan version)
- 200 ml coconut milk (the creamy kind to cook with, I like the Aroy-D brand but other brands are good too)
Decoration
- chocolate
- pistachios (crushed into small pieces)
- lemon zest
Instructions
Make the popsicles
- Place all popsicle ingredients in the blender and blend til you have a smooth creamy mixture.
- Pour the mixture into you molds & add the sticks.
- Place your molds in the freezer for at least 2 hrs.
Add the decoration
- When you're ready to eat your popsicles melt the chocolate first. My favourite way to melt chocolate is to just break it into small pieces in a bowl and to microwave it in small increments (20 seconds), stirring in between, till it's completely molten. You could also melt the chocolate au bain marie on the stove.
- Then have the other decoration ingredients ready - crushed pistachios, lemon zest or anything else you'd like to use
- Take the popsicles out of the freezer and out of the molds. You may have to wait a minute for the mold to warm up enough to release the popsicles.
- Drizzle some chocolate on the popsicles and right away sprinkle your pistachios and/or lemon zest on it cause the chocolate will set very fast on the cold popsicles and once it's set the nuts and zest will not stick so much anymore. You could also dip the popsicle partly or completely in the chocolate.
- And that's it! Enjoy!!
