Chocolate Covered Strawberry Popsicles
Servings: 12 popsicles
Ingredients
For the Strawberry Popsicles:
- 4 cups fresh strawberries de-stemmed
- 1/2 cup yogurt, Greek yogurt, or yogurt alternative
- 1/4 - 1/3 cup raw honey to taste See Notes
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
For the Chocolate Shell:
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate bar
- 2 tbsp coconut oil melted
- Optional crushed or blended freeze dried strawberries to sprinkle on the chocolate shell
Instructions
Make & Freeze the Strawberry Popsicles:
- Blend the strawberry popsicle ingredients in a blender until smooth.
- Pour the strawberry popsicle mixture into a popsicle mold, add the popsicle sticks, and freeze for at least 4 hours until solid.
Add the Chocolate Shell to the Popsicles:
- Line a sheet pan with unbleached parchment paper, so you can put popsicles on a non-stick surface after dipping them in the melted chocolate.
- Once the strawberry popsicles are frozen, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a small sauce pan. Use low heat to melt slowly, stirring continually to ensure the chocolate doesn't scorch.
- Dip the frozen popsicles in the melted chocolate and place them on the lined sheet pan. If using the freeze dried strawberries, sprinkle that on the melted chocolate before it hardens. (See Notes for tips on the chocolate dipping!)
- Once all of the popsicles are dipped, place the sheet pan into the freezer for a good 10 minutes to re-freeze everything before enjoying them.
Notes
- I do think that frozen strawberries will work if you do not have fresh. It might blend and pour easier if you let the strawberries thaw first though.
- These silicone popsicle molds are a game changer if you like to make your own popsicles in the summer. The popsicles just peel right out without having to warm up the popsicle molds!
- I found the chocolate dipping to be the easiest in a tall cup, versus trying to dip in the sauce pan, as pictured above.
