strawberries
, sliced
6
tablespoons
granulated sugar
1/2
cup
coconut milk
8
ounces

1/2
cup

Instructions
Popsicles
In a bowl, combine the strawberries and sugar.
Cover the bowl and let stand until the strawberries are soft, about 1-3 hours.
Using a fine mesh sieve, press the strawberries to extract as much juice as possible, about 1¼ cups.
Combine the coconut milk and strawberry juice and mix thoroughly.
Fill pop molds and freeze until solid.
Cover a cookie sheet with a layer of parchment paper and place it in the freezer for unmolding later.
When pops are frozen, fill a large bowl with lukewarm tap water.
Submerge the mold in the water, making sure to not let the water reach the top and flood the pops.
Pull out the pops and place them onto the frozen cookie sheet.
Return the pops to the freezer to harden.
Chocolate Shell
Meanwhile, place a small amount of water in the bottom of a double boiler and combine the chocolate and coconut oil in the top pan.
Melt the chocolate over medium low heat, stirring until smooth.
Transfer to a small, tall glass container that is slightly larger than your popsicles.
Let chocolate shell cool to room temperature.
Dip pops and garnish with coconut and freeze dried strawberries if desired.
Return to the freezer until ready to serve.
Notes
Don't discard the strawberry solids. Add them to muffin batter or a yogurt smoothie.
Use any leftover chocolate over ice cream
