Serves: 8 - 10 popsicles
Time: overnight soaking + 10 minutes + 4+ hours setting time
1 cup cashews, soaked overnight
1 cup coconut cream / (1 (15 ounce) can full fat culinary coconut milk chilled in the fridge 24 hours (the thick white part that accumulates on top.)
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
2 tbsp. coconut oil
3/4 cup frozen berries
1/4 cup cacao nibs
Chocolate Coating
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup cacao paste, melted
1/4 cup cacao powder
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
Pinch of sea salt
To make the nice cream - Soak your cashews overnight, 8 - 10 hours. Drain the water and rinse the jelly coating off the nuts. Add all your ingredients to a blender, except for the cacao nibs. Mix on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy. Transfer your mixture into a large mixing bowl.
Add your cacao nibs and stir to evenly incorporate.
Transfer your mixture into your popsicle molds. (I like to use these silicone molds!)
Place your popsicles in the freezer until set, 6+ hours or overnight.
To make the chocolate coating - Add all your chocolate coating ingredients to a mixing bowls. Stir to combine.
Remove the popsicles from the silicone mold.
Use a spoon to cover the popsicles in chocolate. The coating will begin to harden immediately when in contact with the cold. Sprinkle your toppings of choice onto the popsicle before the chocolate completely sets.
Enjoy your popsicles immediately!
Store leftovers in a container in the freezer for 2 - 4 weeks.
