Mint Chocolate Chip Popsicles Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups (480ml) plain Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for a dairy-free option)
- 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- ¼ cup (60ml) honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon pure peppermint extract (or more to taste)
- A few drops of natural green food coloring (optional)
- ½ cup (90g) mini chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
Instructions:
- Mix the base: In a blender or large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, almond milk, honey (or maple syrup), and peppermint extract. Blend or whisk until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness or mint flavor as needed. Add a few drops of green food coloring if desired.
- Add chocolate chips: Stir in the mini chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate.
- Fill the molds: Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion. Insert popsicle sticks.
- Freeze: Freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.
- Serve: To remove the popsicles from the molds, run them under warm water for a few seconds until they slide out easily. Enjoy immediately!
Tips for Success:
- Use high-quality peppermint extract for the best flavor (avoid artificial extracts, as they can taste too sharp).
- If you prefer a creamier texture, you can replace the almond milk with coconut milk or heavy cream.
- For a vegan version, use coconut yogurt and maple syrup.
These Mint Chocolate Chip Popsicles are a fun, healthy, and delicious treat for both kids and adults. Perfect for summer or anytime you’re craving a cool, minty dessert!
