Active time: 10 minutes Total time: 8 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened dark chocolate chips
  • 1½ teaspoons coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened toasted coconut flakes

Steps

Blend coconut milk, pineapple, and vanilla until smooth. Pour the mix into six popsicle molds and freeze for about 8 hours.

Meanwhile, melt chocolate and coconut oil together in a microwave, heating 30 seconds at a time and stirring until smooth.

Place a sheet of parchment paper on a plate. Take one frozen popsicle, drizzle the melted chocolate over the top quarter, and quickly sprinkle a tablespoon of toasted coconut. The chocolate will set fast. Put the pop back on the plate and freeze again. Repeat with the rest.

Enjoy right away or wrap each pop and keep them in the freezer for up to one month.
