Nutritious popsicles that are high in protein, fiber and healthy fats. They’re also sweetened with dates (and chocolate!). I promise, this recipe is better than it sounds.

For the ice cream base, we’re using my popular chickpea-nut butter ice cream. This vegan ice cream is made with 5 ingredients and requires less than 10 minutes of work. All you need is chickpeas, dates, peanut butter, coconut milk and vanilla extract. It’s so easy!

How to Make Chickpea Peanut Butter Ice Cream Pops:

Start by making the vegan ice cream base: Simply blend your chickpeas, dates, peanut butter, plant-based milk and vanilla in a high-speed blender. Blend it all until smooth and your ice cream mixture is done.

Pour your ice cream mixture into popsicle molds and store them in the freezer until frozen. For small popsicles, 4 hours might be all you need. For bigger popsicles, you will need more time.

Once the base is frozen, melt your chocolate with coconut oil. This will be your chocolate shell. Dip the popsicles into the chocolate and watch the chocolate form a shell almost immediately. Enjoy!

Ingredient Substitutions:

• You can substitute the coconut milk with your favorite plant-based milk. Almond milk, cashew milk, soy milk and oat milk all work very well. You can also use high-fat coconut milk if preferred.
• Don’t like the taste of coconut? Use another plant-based milk and use refined coconut oil with the chocolate. Refined coconut oil doesn’t add any flavor, but helps the chocolate form a shell.
• You can use other nut or seed butters in this recipe. Just remember that it will affect the flavor of the ice cream, so make sure to use a nut or seed butter that you love!
• For a sweeter ice cream, you can add a small amount of maple syrup to taste. Taste the ice cream mixture and add more sweetener if needed.
• Use your favorite vegan chocolate! This recipe will work with dark or milk chocolate. If using unsweetened chocolate, simply add a small drizzle as the flavor will be bitter and overpowering.
