I love this time of the year; avocados are back in the store, and I couldn’t resist buying a pack of 10 avocados from a local producer. This is too much for our little family. Especially because avocados always ripen all at the same time. As a result, you have a fairly small time frame to make the most of it. So, instead of making savory dishes with them, I like making popsicle recipes for the kids, like I shared before with my strawberry banana popsicles. Of course, you can use avocado to make avocado ice cream, but these avocado popsicles are much faster to make for a no-churn creamy ice cream. Also, if you are not into frozen treats, don’t worry. I have other sweet avocado dessert recipes to use for your ripe avocados. Try baking a batch of my chocolate avocado cookies or avocado brownies. But back to these delicious creamy frozen avocado, coconut popsicles are packed with creamy coconut, mint flavors, and healthy omega fatty acids from avocados. You can make many avocado popsicle flavors like chocolate avocado, lime avocado, or mint avocado. Feel free to dip them in melted chocolate to create a shell or simply swap mint of lime zest and lime juice. In this recipe, I will provide the measurements for a healthy avocado popsicle made without coconut condensed milk.
Avocado Popsicles Ingredients
You will not believe that the lovely color of this avocado ice cream comes naturally from ripe avocados. These avocado popsicles are also healthy, made without refined sugar or high-sugar sweetened condensed milk. This recipe contains only 5 wholesome ingredients that are all vegan and refined sugar-free for a delicious healthy frozen treat.
Ripe Avocado – Avocados are the key ingredient to making tasty avocado ice cream. If there are any black spots on the flesh, remove them to avoid a bitter flavor. Coconut Milk, I recommend full-fat canned coconut milk as packet coconut milk often has additives. Maple Syrup or any liquid sweetener you love, like coconut nectar or agave syrup. Peppermint Essence adds a lovely peppermint flavor. Mint Leaves for extra fresh minty flavor. Dark Chocolate is used to dip the avocado popsicles into melted chocolate and create a crunchy chocolate shell that is delicious with the mint flavor of the avocado ice cream. It is simply made of melted coconut oil and sugar-free chocolate chips, but you can also use 70% vegan dark chocolate if you don’t watch the carbs and sugar.
How To Make Avocado Popsicles
Chocolate Avocado Popsicles
I didn’t cover the popsicles with a chocolate shell, but it is a tasty addition to the recipe. To make a chocolate avocado popsicle, bring 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips and one teaspoon of coconut oil into a tall glass mason jar and melt in the microwave. When the chocolate is melted and shiny, hold the unmolded, frozen avocado popsicle from the stick and dip in the melted dark chocolate mixture to coat. Place the coated popsicles onto a plate covered with parchment paper. Place the plate into the freezer to harden the chocolate shell. Store the chocolate avocado popsicles in the freezer for up to one month in an airtight box.
