How To Make Tasty Low-Cal Chocolate Covered Strawberry Popsicles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
With all the ingredients that you need for the job gathered, you are ready to start making your low-cal chocolate covered strawberry popsicles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thankfully, making these popsicles is super simple, and it is made even easier if you pay close attention to our step-by-step guide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So without further ado, let\u2019s dive right into the methodology of making these chocolate covered strawberry popsicles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step One \u2013 Make The Popsicle Filling<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The chances are that at some point in your life, you will have made popsicles before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Making popsicles is a task that many parents do with their children when their children are growing up, so making popsicle filling is likely something that you are familiar with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Making the popsicle filling for these popsicles is super simple. All you need to do is take your blender and add the coconut milk and sweetener to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take your knife and chopping board and chop up all of your strawberries. Once you have added your strawberries to the blender, blend until smooth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Step Two \u2013 Pour The Filling<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
With your strawberry popsicle filling prepared, it is then time to pour the filling into your popsicle molds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some popsicle molds will come with popsicle sticks included, and if this is the case for your mold, you will not need to worry about inserting the sticks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, if you are using a silicone mold, then you will need to insert the sticks yourself. We recommend doing this before <\/strong>you pour your filling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With your popsicle mold ready to go, all that is left to do is fill your molds. Make sure that you fill your molds to the brim, that they are not overflowing and also not underfilled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With your molds full and ready to go, pop them in your freezer, ensuring they remain flat at all times. Leave your popsicles to set in the freezer for at least <\/strong>8 hours. Ideally, we would recommend leaving them to sit overnight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step Three \u2013 Cover In Chocolate<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
When you take your popsicles out of the freezer, the strawberry filling will have set. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remove your popsicles from the popsicle mold and place them onto a sheet of baking paper. Set aside for now, but remember not to forget about them as they will melt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take your microwave-safe bowl, and add your chocolate chips and coconut oil to it. Pop the bowl in the microwave and set it to go for 15 seconds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once the 15 seconds have passed, stir your chocolate, and then repeat this process until the chocolate chips have melted into a smooth mixture. It shouldn\u2019t take too long. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pick up each popsicle one by one, and using a spoon, spoon the melted chocolate over the popsicle. With each spoonful, shake off any extra chocolate until your popsicles are covered in a smooth layer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Immediately after this, sprinkle the chocolate with the freeze dried strawberries, and place your popsicle back on the baking sheet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Repeat this until all the popsicles have been covered. Either serve immediately or transfer into a freezer bag or freezer-safe container and place in the freezer until you want to eat them in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To ensure the best quality chocolate covered strawberry popsicles, we would recommend eating them soon after you freeze them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
