  • 1 ice cream sticks

Instructions

  1. Into a food processor add your nuts and process until crumbly.
  2. Add your pitted dates and sultanas, process again.
  3. Add cocoa and coconut oil, mix again and then add your water with as much as you need to bring it all together in a dough-like consistency.
  4. Press into a small lined, lidded container and chill in the freezer for at least an hour.
  5. Roll tablespoon-sized balls, insert some ice cream sticks and turn them into pops!

Notes

Tip
When adding the cocoa, just be mindful that using too much can add bitterness.
Tip
I store mine in the freezer – this way I can make a big batch and always have some on hand.
Tip
These do contain nuts so be wary around those with allergies. Make sure you label these clearly if you are serving them at a party.
Tip
I used almonds for this recipe but you can use almond meal also.
Storage
Store in the freezer.
