Mint Chocolate Popsicles

If you like frozen mint chocolate ice cream, you’re going to love these Coconut Mint Chocolate Popsicles! With just five ingredients and no artificial colors or flavors, they’re a refreshing and healthy summer treat.

Mint Chocolate Popsicles

I recently bought a popsicle maker, which has virtually changed the way I do summer. There’s basically a popsicle for every occasion. Green smoothie popsicles for when you need a vegetable, yogurt popsicles that taste just like froyo, and now, Coconut Mint Chocolate Popsicles for when you’re craving Thin Mint cookies! They’re creamy, chocolatey, minty, and so easy to make.

I don’t like to use a lot of artificial flavors and colors when I cook, which I thought might be a problem when making these popsicles. Many recipes turn to peppermint extract and green food coloring for an “authentic” minty tasty, but that just wasn’t going to fly here. So…hear me out…we’re using a handful of spinach in these popsicles for color. The taste is honestly indistinguishable and it gives the perfect green hue! The mint flavor comes in a more orthodox way, we’ll basically just steep the fresh mint leaves in hot coconut milk. Then blend everything together, pour into molds and freeze! Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed!

To make these Mint Chocolate Popsicles you’ll need:

• 1 14-oz can full-fat coconut milk
• ¼ cup sugar
• 1 cup packed fresh mint leaves
• 1 cup fresh spinach
• ½ cup dark chocolate chips (or chopped baking chocolate)

Kitchen tools you may find useful:

• Blender
• Mesh sieve

Ingredients

• ▢ 14 oz full-fat coconut milk
• ▢ ¼ cup sugar
• ▢ 1 cup packed fresh mint leaves
• ▢ 1 cup fresh spinach
• ▢ ½ cup dark chocolate chips or chopped baking chocolate (plus more for sprinkling at the end, optional)

Instructions

• Add coconut milk and sugar to a medium saucepan over medium/low heat. Heat until hot and steaming, but not boiling, stirring occasionally.
• Remove from heat and add mint leaves. Stir to combine and let mint leaves steep for 15 to 30 minutes.
• Strain mint leaves from the milk using a mesh sieve, discarding the mint leaves.
• Add minty coconut milk and spinach to a blender. Puree until spinach is completely broken down.
• Pour mixture into 6 to 8 popsicle molds. Freeze until hard (at least 6 hours)
• Just before removing popsicles from the freezer, add chocolate to a heat-resistant bowl. Bring a pot of water to a boil and set the bowl of chocolate over the boiling water (just above the water, not submerged). Stir constantly until most of the chocolate is melted. Remove the bowl from over the steam and continue to stir until chocolate has all melted.
• Remove popsicles from the freezer and run the container under warm water for a few seconds to loosen them up. Remove each from the mold, drizzle with chocolate, and optionally sprinkled with a dash of finely chopped chocolate.
