Ingredients
Whole Raw Almonds – 1 cup
Water - 3 cups
Dates – 5 (pitted)
Espresso – ¼ cup, strongly brewed, cooled
Cacao – 2 tbsp
Vanilla extract – ½ tsp
Salt – a pinch
Chocolate chips – ½ cup (optional)
Instructions
Place the almonds and pitted dates in a closed container with the water, preferably warm, it speeds up the softening process, for an hour, or overnight.
After the almonds and dates have soaked, place them into a blender or food processor.
Add the espresso, cacao, vanilla extract and salt. Puree until liquified.
Divide the mixture into popsicle molds and freeze for at least 6 hours or over night.
Store in the freezer in the popsicle molds or remove from the mold and store in a zip baggie for quick access!
*If you are choosing the addition of chocolate, (and why wouldn’t you!) after pops are frozen and removed from their molds, simply melt chocolate chips, and with a fork drizzle quickly across the pops and store in the freezer until already to serve.
