A rich and creamy chocolate ice pop, featuring heart-healthy avocados and antioxidant-rich cacao powder.
Ingredients
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • ¼ cup raw cacao powder
  • 3 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup water, or more as needed for blending
  • pinch of sea salt

Instructions
  1. Scoop the flesh of the ripe avocado into a blender, and combine with the rest of the ingredients.
  2. Blend well, and adjust the flavor to taste, keeping in mind that the frozen ice pops will be slightly less-sweet in flavor. Because avocados can vary in taste, based on ripeness and variety, you may need to add more cocoa powder or maple syrup to create a rich, chocolate flavor. The beauty of making raw desserts is that you can taste as you go, so you’ll never have a recipe flop!
  3. Transfer the chocolate batter to your ice pop mold, insert the wooden popsicle sticks, and place in the freezer to set for at least 6 hours, or until frozen solid.
  4. To remove the frozen ice pops, I like to fill my kitchen sink with hot water and submerge the molds for about 20 seconds to loosen. They should pop right out!
