And another one! I hope you guys aren’t getting bored of my popsicle recipes? Okay, I promise this is the last one, for a while! And I saved the best for the last, YES! Maybe I am biased because there’s Peanut Butter involved but guys these peanut butter popsicles are so good! I was actually playing around with flavors and I had no idea that it would turn out so good. Coconut + Mighty Maple Peanut Butter + Chocolate = Best treat ever!
You know my obsession with peanut butter, I can never have enough of it. Whether it’s adding it to my homemade granola or homemade ice cream, I am always looking for ways to include peanut butter in my recipes. I have even made burgers and parathas out of it! Well yes I told you, I am obsessed with the stuff. And today I added it to these popsicles and it can’t get better than this.
10 minutes is all that it takes to make these popsicles. I could have left them as such (because they were pretty good that way too) BUT I had to dip them in chocolate. Peanut butter and chocolate is a match made in heaven, I am sure you guys agree with me on that? And so it was bound to happen. As soon as the popsicles were out of the mold, it’s like they were begging to be dipped in some yummy chocolate. Plus chocolate makes everything perfect <3I used candiquik here but you can use any candy melting chocolate of your choice. I also love ghirardelli melting wafers. The good thing with candy melts is that they dry so quickly and that’s exactly what you need for this popsicle.
Method
To a pan on medium heat, add coconut milk and then might maple peanut butter.Add maple syrup, adjust to taste.Stir till peanut butter dissolves completely and mixture is nice and smooth, around 2-3 minutes. Remove the pan from heat and set aside.
Pour the prepared liquid into popsicle molds of your choice. Put in the freezer, after 2 hours when the popsicles are semi-set, insert the sticks and then let it freezer overnight.Once the popsicles are frozen, take them out of the popsicle mold by running them under warm water for 30 seconds. Melt candy melt (I used candiquik) and dip the popsicle in it. Make sure chocolate isn’t super hot when you dip the popsicle in it else it might melt the popsicle.Garnish with chopped nuts immediately. Wait for few seconds, the chocolate will harden almost immediately. Place the popsicle in the freezer again for 15-20 minutes.
Enjoy these coconut peanut butter popsicles! so good!
* I used chopped peanuts and pecans, which I got from the grocery store. You can use any nut of your choice or skip the nuts if you don’t like them.* Use high quality candy melting chocolate to dip in the popsicle. I recommend Candiquik and Ghirardelli Melting Wafers.* The preparation time is only 10 minutes. The total time indicated below includes the time the popsicles are in the freezer.
