How to prepare Avocado and chocolate popsicles

To make avocado and chocolate popsicles, first clean the avocado: cut it in half 1, remove the central core 2, remove the pulp with a teaspoon and place it in a tall-sided glass 3.

Add coconut milk 4, honey 5, lemon juice 6

and water 7. Blend everything 8 until you get a smooth and homogeneous cream 9.

Pour the mixture into some popsicle molds 10. we used a mold of 10 popsicles with a capacity of 70 ml (2 1/3 oz) each. Insert the stick 11 and place in the freezer for at least 4 hours. Meanwhile, chop the dark chocolate 12 and melt it in a bain-marie or in the microwave.

When your popsicles are ready, unmold them by placing the mold under running water 13 to facilitate the extraction (14-15).

Now take care of the decoration: dip the tips of the popsicles in the chocolate 16 to create a diagonal glaze, cover the chocolate part with the chopped hazelnuts 17 and immediately enjoy your avocado and chocolate popsicles 18!

Storage

Once placed in the mold with their stick, the avocado and chocolate popsicles can be stored in the mold in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Tips

Try to vary the taste of the coating using white chocolate and chopped pistachios.
