3 Ingredient Chocolate Ice Lolly Recipe

Yes, you heard me right.....

Chocolate goodness

For a hot day

With 3 ingredients

Made in 2 minutes

What could be better?! And an extra plus....they taste incredible, if I do say so myself.

Mine look more like bobs because I didn't have lolly pop moulds, they did not disappoint!

I have never been the biggest ice cream fan, I know, crazy right?

I think the body has a funny way of telling you things before you know them, and my stomach always seemed to turn a little whenever I ate cream or ice cream or creamy hot chocolate. Fast forward 5 years or so and I live a dairy free life with much happier skin, gut, immune system...I was dairy intolerant and I had no idea.

So when it comes to frozen sweet treats like these, I am always so excited to create plant based recipes that nourish the body and don't leave me feeling sick.

These give me that Magnum feel with none of the repercussions that I would have experienced!

Here's your fun fact of the day!

Did you know that cacao is the most powerful antioxidants in the world?! Now stay with me, that doesn't necessarily mean we can eat a whole chocolate bar and think that that is anti-inflammatory for your body...

But

What is great about something like these lollipops, they use antioxidant rich cacao to give you that chocolatey feel without using any actual chocolate needed (apart from potentially dipping them afterwards) so it's the best of both worlds!

What is an antioxidant? Well, basically antioxidants are powerhouses that inhibit oxidation, a chemical reaction within your body that produces free radicals and chain reactions that damage your cells. Oxidation has huge links with inflammation, autoimmunity and destruction of our cells, so packing our bodies full of antioxidant rich foods is a great thing to do!

Chef's perks are the best thing - guess who got to eat what we needed to clean up? Me.

So let's get down to it!

Ingredients:

- 1 can coconut milk

- 1 tbsp raw cacao powder

- 2 tsp - 1 tbsp of maple syrup (depending on your tastes)

Optional

2. Have a taste and adjust accordingly

3. Pour into lollipop moulds (or any silicon moulds - the more creative the better!) and freeze
