INGREDIENTS

65g coconut flour

1 tbsp. cocoa powder

2 tbsp. PlantYourDay

50ml of almond milk

4 tbsp. maple syrup

170g of chocolate chips + 2 Tbs coconut oil, melted together

170g chocolate chips (optional add-in)

1/2 cup of dark chocolate

3 tsp. of coconut oil

MATERIALS NEEDED

15 lollipop or cocktail sticks

  2. Stir in the melted chocolate chips + coconut oil.

  3. Mix in chocolate chips (optional add-in).

  4. Scope with the ice cream scooper, Roll mixture into balls, about 1 tablespoon each. Place onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place in fridge for 5 minutes. (This recipe makes about 15 pops)

  5. Remove from the fridge for at least 5 minutes before coating with chocolate. While the balls are sitting at room temperature, melt the dark chocolate and stir in the coconut oil

  6. Dip the end of each lollipop or cocktail stick into the chocolate coating, then stick in each ball and allow to harden before dipping. This ensures the stick will stay in the cake pop.

  7. Put in the fridge until ready to serve, and enjoy!
