Diet-friendly dark chocolate ice pops

August 27, 2014 By Nora Leave a Comment

I’ve been looking for an easy-to-make-ahead icy dessert, that remains creamy and frothy for some time. Finally found it… Ready in minutes, very chocolaty, sugar- dairy- and egg-free, vegan: my home-made chocolate ice pops.

Ingredients for 11-12 pieces:

400 ml or 1 1/2 cups of coconut cream
3 pieces of sugarfree marshmallow or 1/2 teaspoon of agar-agar powder for a vegan option
125g or 5 ounces of dark chocolate (the one I used had 81% cocoa content)
3 tablespoons of erythritol
1 teaspoon of homemade vanilla extract

Marshmallows are needed to keep the airy structure of these ice pops: the bubbles “stick” into the marshmallowy mixture. Sugarfree marshmallows are made of gelatine and some sweetener (usually sorbitol), so for a vegan option, you can use some agar-agar powder for the same purpose.

  1. Melt the chocolate over steaming water with 1-2 tablespoons of coconut cream. Tear the marshmallows to small pieces, fold them into the chocolate mixture and mix until smooth.
  2. Mix the remaining coconut cream with the erythritol and beat to a foam. (This takes some minutes and it doesn’t get as firm as usual cream but will still do.)
  3. Now fold the frothy coconut cream gently into the molten chocolate mixture, add some vanilla extract and taste check for sweetness!
  4. Spoon the ice pop mixture into the plastic molds, freeze overnight and enjoy!
I love about these ice pops that they preserve their airy and bubbly texture:

As coconut cream doesn’t contain any carbs and erythritol doesn’t affect blood sugar levels, these little ice pops are really low carb: the whole amount contains approx. 33g carbs! I managed to fill 11 molds, that made 3g CH/serving.
