If you like frozen mint chocolate ice cream, you’re going to love these Mint Chocolate Coconut Popsicles! With just five ingredients and no artificial colors or flavors, they’re a refreshing and healthy summer treat.
½cupdark chocolate chipsor 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.
