Yield: 8 large
Ingredients
- 500g almond milk
- 200g smooth peanut butter (U.S. option HERE)
- 40g powdered erythritol (U.S. option HERE)
- ½ tsp pure stevia powder (U.S. option HERE)
- ½ tsp fine Himalayan pink salt (U.S. option HERE)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (U.S. option HERE)
- 2 tsp (8g) gelatine powder (U.S. option HERE)
- 20g stevia sweetened chocolate buttons
- 3g coconut oil (U.S. option HERE)
- ½ tsp freeze dried raspberry pieces (U.S. option HERE)
Instructions
- pour 60g almond milk in a small glass or bowl, add the gelatine and stir quickly with a fork; leave to bloom.
- heat remainder of almond milk together with sweeteners, salt, peanut butter and bloomed gelatine; no need to boil - you just want the peanut butter to melt; remove from heat source, stir in the vanilla, and leave aside to cool.
- once the mixture has cooled sufficiently and thickened, transfer it to a spouted jug (I use THIS, U.S. option HERE) and fill 8 large popsicle moulds (U.S. option HERE); insert a stick and freeze until solid (best overnight to make sure); remove the popsicles from their pockets and transfer them to a suitable container or tray before putting them back in the freezer.
- for the chocolate drizzle, you just need to melt chocolate and coconut oil in a heat-proof bowl over a bain-marie, and quickly drizzle over each popsicle using a small teaspoon; sprinkle a few freeze-dried raspberry pieces before the chocolate sets.
Notes
To extract the popsicles, the usual advice is to immerse the mould in hot water for a second or two, but I don’t like that, because it can thaw them out in no time. My method is to insert a knife around each popsicle whilst separating it away from its pocket, and then jiggle as I pull out. Much easier and far less messy.
For the chocolate drizzle, double the quantities if you wish to coat both sides; I only did one side, because it’s easier and I’m lazy.
The chocolate drizzle makes very little difference to the overall macronutrients. Each PLAIN popsicle would contain: Kcal 168; Fat 14g; Protein 7g; NET CARBS 2.75g.
