Ingredients
Avocado Mint Ice Cream
- 2 large avocados
- 1 can full-fat coconut milk, solid part only
- 5 large fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 lime, juice only
Crispy Chocolate Shell
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1/4 cup crispy puffed quinoa (affiliate link)
Instructions
- Remove the pits from the avocado and spoon the flesh into a blender or food processor. Add the solid part of a can of coconut milk, mint leaves, maple syrup, and the juice from ½ a lime. Blend until smooth and creamy and no pieces of mint leaves remain.
- Spoon the mixture evenly into your popsicle mold ensuring it gets pressed and filled into the mold completely. Cover and freeze at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
- To make the crispy chocolate shell, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave in glass that is wide enough (but not too wide) and deep enough for you to be able to dunk the ice cream pop into. I microwaved in two-30 second increments.
- Once the chocolate is fully melted, stir in the crispy puffed quinoa (affiliate link).
- Remove the ice cream pop from the mold and dunk in the glass of melted chocolate up to the stick, letting excess chocolate run off. Place onto a piece of parchment paper or a plate and let the shell harden while you finish coating the rest.
NOTE: when you get to the last once the dunking method might not work, so you can spoon the chocolate over top covering the avocado mint pop completely.
- Enjoy right away or keep them stored in the freezer for later. You may want to let the pop sit out for a few minutes to soften slightly.
