Ingredients:

460g
1/3 cup maple syrup
72g
1/2 cup dark chocolate
120g
1 tbsp coconut oil
16g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender.
- Measure out the coconut milk and maple syrup.
2. Blend the Mixture:
- In the blender, combine the avocado flesh, coconut milk, and maple syrup.
- Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
3. Pour into Molds:
- Carefully pour the blended mixture into iceblock molds, leaving a little space at the top of each mold.
- Insert the sticks into the molds.
4. Freeze:
- Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid.
5. Prepare the Chocolate Coating:
- Once the iceblocks are fully frozen, melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler.
- Stir in the coconut oil until fully combined and smooth.
6. Dip the Iceblocks:
- Remove the iceblocks from the molds.
- Dip each iceblock into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off.
- Place the dipped iceblocks on a parchment-lined tray.
7. Set the Chocolate:
- Return the tray of dipped iceblocks to the freezer for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is set.
8. Serve:
- Once the chocolate has hardened, your coconut and avocado iceblocks are ready to enjoy!

Tips:

- Choose ripe avocados: Ensure that the avocados you use are ripe and creamy for the best texture. They should give slightly when pressed.

- Blend ingredients thoroughly: To achieve a smooth mixture, blend the avocado, coconut milk, and maple syrup until completely combined. This ensures a consistent texture throughout the iceblocks.

- Use quality chocolate: Opt for high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor. It adds a rich, decadent touch to the iceblocks.

- Freeze properly: Allow the iceblocks to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or overnight, to ensure they are completely set before enjoying.

- Experiment with add-ins: Feel free to add other ingredients such as shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or fruit pieces to the mixture before freezing for added texture and flavor.

These coconut and avocado iceblocks are not only refreshing but also packed with healthy fats and natural sweetness. They are an easy-to-make treat that will impress your friends and family. Enjoy these creamy, chocolate-dipped iceblocks as a guilt-free dessert option.
