Who would like to try one of these Raspberry Chocolate Ice Cream Popsicles? I don’t think there’s any dessert I love more than ice cream! As a toddler, my favorite used to be Neapolitan wafers with vanilla, chocolate & strawberry – have you ever tried them? Then I moved on to chocolate covered hazelnut ice cream pops, vanilla soft serve and everything coconut :)
These ice cream popsicles have it all: creamy coconut, dark chocolate, tangy raspberries and a hint of vanilla. They’re raw vegan, so dairy free, and naturally sweetened with maple syrup. I also added an alternative that is completely sugar free, just in case you’d like to try the vegan ‘keto’ version. I hope you’ll enjoy them as much as I do!

INGREDIENTS:
2 ripe avocados, pitted
1 small cup (80 - 90 g) cacao powder, unsweetened
1 cup (210 ml) light coconut milk, unsweetened (or almond)
½ cup (110 ml) maple syrup (or Stevia/xylitol to taste for a sugar free ‘vegan keto’ version)
2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
large pinch of ground vanilla + sea salt (optional)
2 handfuls of raspberries, fresh or frozen

1. Melt the coconut oil over low heat.
2. Put the melted coconut oil, avocados, cacao powder, coconut milk, maple syrup, ground vanilla and sea salt in a blender. Blend until smooth.
