Serves: 8-10 Popsicles
Ingredients
  • 1 cup pitted dates
  • 2 cups dairy-free cashew milk beverage
  • 2 tablespoons lucuma powder (optional; if omitting add more maple syrup or other sweetener to taste – see note in post above)*
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • Big pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon guar gum (optional, but improves creamy texture)*
  • 4 tablespoons dairy-free mini chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Place dates in a heat proof bowl. Cover with boiling water and allow to stand for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Drain dates and add to a high-speed blender or food processor along with cashew milk. Begin blending, gradually increasing speed to high, and blending on high speed until completely smooth (or process until completely smooth in a food processor.) Add lucuma, maple syrup, and salt; blend well. Lastly, blend in guar gum. Pour mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a bit of space at the top.
  3. Add ½ tablespoon chocolate chips to each popsicle and stir in gently with popsicle stick. Once all popsicle sticks are in place, freeze for several hours until firm.
  4. To remove from mold, run under warm water.
Notes
*In our Go Dairy Free test kitchen, we omitted both the lucuma and the guar gum, and they were still wonderful.
