Avocado Popsicles

If you like ice cream, you’ll definitely enjoy how creamy and decadent these avocado popsicles are. I can’t wait to share these treats with my dad. I’m sure he’ll be reminded of all those mornings long ago when the two of us would sit at the kitchen island and share our breakfast avocados.
yield: 10 POPSICLES

INGREDIENTS:

3 ripe avocados (medium sized)
1 1/2 cup milk, or milk alternative of choice
4 Tbsp sweetened condensed milk
simply syrup or agave syrup, as needed
Dipping Chocolate:

4 oz good quality dark chocolate**, chopped, melted
DIRECTIONS:

In a blender or food processor, puree avocado meat, milk, and sweetened condensed milk.  Taste mixture.  If it is not sweet enough to your liking, add simple syrup or agave as needed.*
Pour mixture into molds until almost full.  Place a layer of foil over the popsicle mold, followed by the popsicle mold cover.  Insert wooden sticks into the mold and then remove the popsicle mold cover, leaving only the foil.**
Place filled molds in the freezer for at least 3 hours, or until the popsicles are solid.
Dipping Chocolate:

Over a double boiler (bain-marie), melt chopped chocolate until smooth. Alternatively, you can microwave it at half power in 30 second intervals until melted. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate and burn it.
Dip frozen avocado popsicles in melted chocolate.  You can also drizzle melted chocolate over popsicles.
* Pureed mixture will be quite thick.  Add more liquid to thin it out.

** I used 72% dark chocolate.
