Servings 8 servings

Equipment

  • Blender or food processor
  • Popsicle molds

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Whole Raw Almonds
  • 3 cups Water
  • 5 Dates pitted
  • 1/2 cup Espresso strongly brewed, cooled
  • 2 tbsp Cacao
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate chips (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.
