Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cream Popsicles

Chocolate covered strawberries turned into popsicles with this delicious healthy, refined-sugar free, creamy refreshing dessert! It's pure indulgence in the form of a cool and creamy treat!

Chocolate covered strawberries, or strawberries with whip cream, and with berries being in season, it’s the perfect thing to turn into popsicles. These popsicles are strawberry and date sweetened.

Let's face it, everyone likes popsicles. And if you read this thought that you are one of the few who don't. well, I guarantee this will change your mind. Popsicles are one of the easiest things you can do at home instead of buying a version of store-bought sugar.

Try this, one of my previous Popsicle recipes, or another that you find or make yourself, it's super easy, fun, far healthier than store-bought, and perfect for summer time!

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups fresh strawberries , cut in quarters
4-5 Medjool dates , pitted and quartered
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup coconut cream
1/4 teasp vanilla extract
1/4 teasp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup finely diced fresh strawberries , (optional)

For the Chocolate Coating:

1 cup chocolate chips , chopped from a bar or Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate Chips
2 teasp coconut oil

INSTRUCTIONS:

Heat a saucepan to medium heat.
Add in the 2 cups quartered strawberries, water, and dates.
Simmer on low-medium heat until you start to see the strawberries and dates soften and juices release (~10-15min).
Turn the heat off, remove pan from stove, and allow the strawberry-date-water mixture to cool.
Once cooled, add the strawberry-date-water miture, coconut cream, vanilla extract, and freshly squeezed lemon juice into a blender and completely puree (I used my Vitamix, but any blender should work just fine).
Pour the contents of the blender out into a mixing bowl. If using, mix in the 1/2 cup of finely diced strawberries.
Pour mixture into popsicle molds and place in the freezer overnight!
At this point, the strawberry cream popsicles will taste delicious as is. So technically you can stop at this point, but to take them to the next level, let's DIP them in dark chocolate!

For the Chocolate Coating:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place it in the freezer until ready to use. This will help keep the chocolate covered popsicles cool while you are working with them.
Completely melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together using the double broiler method. The melted chocolate should be pour-able. Remove from heat and set aside.
Work with 3 popsicles at a time and work quickly to keep the popsicles from melting.
Remove 3 popsicles from the freezer mold. Remove the lined baking sheet from the freezer and set aside. Dip the top half of both sides of each popsicle into the melted chocolate (or use a spoon to pour). Be sure the chocolate is well coated and place immediately on the chilled lined baking sheet. After all three popsicles are done, place the baking sheet back in the freezer until you get the next 3 ready. Repeat this step to coat the remainder of the popsicles, working quickly.
Once you are done coating all the popsicles with chocolate, keep the baking sheet in the freezer to allow the chocolate shells to harden and then enjoy!
Store any extra popsicles in a freezable airtight container with parchment paper in between the popsicles layers. Keep in freezer and enjoy on demand!
