Equipment
- popsicle molds
Ingredients
- 1 cup Milk For dairy-free, use coconut milk.
- 4 Dates roughly chopped Or 1/3 cup maple syrup, honey, sugar, or stevia.
- 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder
- 1 tbsp Corn starch I prefer a GMO-free one
- 1/8 tsp Kosher salt
- 1½ oz roughly chopped dark chocolate I use 85 percent, but this is up to you and how sweet you would like them. You can also use baker's chocolate and add more dates to sweeten them
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla
Instructions
- In a saucepan, whisk together the milk, dates or sugar, cornstarch, cocoa, and salt. Heat until hot and bubbly but not boiling.
- I like to sift the cornstarch and cocoa to help it not get lumpy.
- Add the chocolate and stir until melted. Continue cooking until the mixture thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
- Off the heat, use an immersion blender to make sure all of the dates are a smooth consistency. This is only required if you are using dates.
- Whisk in the vanilla
- Transfer the mixture to the popsicle molds. It'll be thick like pudding but should still be pourable. Add sticks, then freeze until firm, at least 6 hours or overnight.
