Instructions

Blend the cottage cheese, honey, and peanut butter in a blender until smooth and creamy, with no lumps. Pit the dates, chop them, and fold them into the mixture.

Spoon the mixture into 3–4 popsicle molds and freeze for at least 3–4 hours, or until the popsicles are completely frozen.

Coarsely chop the chocolate and place it in a bowl. Melt it with the coconut oil in the microwave or in a double boiler. Dip the popsicles into the melted chocolate, place them back on the baking sheet, and let them set in the fridge for 5–10 minutes. Serve immediately or store in a suitable container in the freezer.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Smooth Base Technique 🥛
Blend cottage cheese until completely smooth to ensure a silky-creamy texture without lumps, using a high-powered blender or food processor.
Chocolate Shell Perfection 🍫
Mix melted coconut oil with chocolate to create a thin, crisp coating that hardens instantly when it touches the frozen popsicle.
Natural Sweetener Balance 🍯
Use Medjool dates and honey together for a balanced sweetness that enhances flavor without overwhelming refined sugar.
Popsicle Mold Pro Tip 🧊
Lightly coat popsicle molds with cooking spray before filling to ensure easy removal of frozen popsicles without breaking.
Protein-Packed Mix-In Strategy 💪
Gently fold in peanut butter in ribbons for beautiful marbling and to prevent over-mixing, which can deflate the creamy base.
