Ingredients  

  • ⅓ cup mashed sweetpotato
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 1-1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 ¾ cup coconut milk *full fat can also use oat milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • ⅓ cup milk choc chips
  • Colored sprinkles or crushed oreos to decorate, optional

Instructions 

  1. Microwave your sweetpotato for 4-6 minutes, until soft. Scoop out the flesh and mash it as much as you can (I do this in a bowl with the back of a spoon, but you could also use a potato masher).
  2. Add your ingredients (except chocolate chips) to a medium pot over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes until heated and sweetpotato dissolves, stirring occasionally. The mixture will start to thicken.
  3. In the final minute, add your chocolate chips and stir until they melt and dissolve. Turn the heat off.
  4. Arrange your popsicle molds to pour the chocolate pudding mixture into. I like to use a funnel to do this for easier pouring.
  5. Freeze for 4-6 hours. When removing popsicles from molds, place the mold under warm water for a few seconds until the popsicle moves and releases from the mold.
  6. Enjoy as is! You can also dip in melted chocolate and add sprinkles, crushed oreos, or freeze-dried strawberries. To do so, add 1 cup chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil to the microwave, and heat in 30-second increments, until melted. Dip the tips of the popsicles in the melted chocolate, and then add your sprinkles, crushed oreos, etc.

Notes

Note: If you are having trouble getting all of the mashed sweetpotato to dissolve, you can also add it to a blender before pouring in the popsicle molds.
