MATCHA POPSICLES
Matcha Fruit Popsicles dipped in the Chocolate & Pistachios
Vegan – Gluten Free – Refined Sugar Free
INGREDIENTS FOR 6
• Fully ripe banana
• Mango 1
• Kiwi 1
• Coconut milk ½ cup (for the best results use chilled Thai brand & scoop only the thick part on top of the can)
• Matcha powder ½ tsp
• Good quality dark semisweet chocolate 1 1/2 cup (melted above the steam)
• Raw pistachios (hulled and grind)
• Food processor
• Popsicles molds
• Wooden sticks
• Parchment paper
• Tray
PROCESS
• Blend all the fruits, coconut cream & Matcha in a blender.
• Slowly and gradually fill your Popsicle molds while gently taping the molds to remove air bubbles.
• When ready, slowly and gently insert the wooden sticks.
• Place them into a freezer for 4 hours.
• From the freezer, place them into refrigerator for couple of hours until they are easy to pull out of the molds.
• In the meantime, melt the chocolate above the steam.
• Remove from the heat and wait few minutes before you start dipping.
• Line your tray or cutting board with parchment paper and place your pistachios on the side.
• Start dipping each Popsicle into the chocolate. Use a spoon to add more layers to make sure the pistachios will stick. Quickly sprinkle the chocolate with pistachios, because the chocolate cools down fast on the cold surface. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect.
• Place each Popsicle on your tray and place them back into a freezer or serve.
