Chocolate Dipped Orange Cream Popsicles (FOOD PHOTO SHOOT)
๐๐ซ๐๐ซSummer is here and we're going to need some deliciousness to cool down with. Who's with me?????๐๐ซ๐๐ซ
Quick update for anyone following my injury recovery: I'm still on the mend and thankfully my knee injury is almost healed enough that I can stop walking like a peg-leg pirate and take the stairs like a normal human being, yay!!!
The down side is that unfortunately I'll still have to wear the cast for another few weeks. I'm not going to lie though, doing everything with one hand is starting to realy drive me insane. I miss my arm. ๐ข๐ข๐ข๐ช (I may not make it, lol)
These summery treats are pretty simple and straight forward. Actually, they were my sistersโ idea. My sisters found these orange flavored chocolate bars that they fell in love with and ate all the time for a long period of time. Even after the hype started to fade about the chocolate bars they were insistent that I should make something inspired by them. So, of course, I did because I love to make people happy with food, especially my family peoples.
Anyway, these pops are made with coconut milk instead of cream and I used raw sugar and greek yogurt too, so as far as popsicles go these are pretty healthy. If you are a fan of creamsicles then youโre going to love these. ๐
I know, I know, the ARE dipped in chocolate but there's a to of anti-oxidants in chocolate so again, healhty, right??? ๐
Okay guys, I hope you all have a great day and enjoy something yummy.
Oh yes, love the flavors. Recipe please! Looks refreshing. Coconut milk - interesting.
I'd be happy to share it with you @tesscooks4u! Thank you so much for all you awesome comments and kind words all the time!
Ingredients

1 cup full-fat coconut milk
1/3 cup sugar in the raw (aka turbinado sugar)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup (175g) Semi-sweet dark chocolate
Instructions
Melt chocolate in a double-boiler and dip pops. Sprinkle with zest if desired and serve immediately or store in an air-tight container in freezer until ready to serve.
Thanks so much for sharing the recipe! I'll try this for sure. Have a friend coming over for dinner next week who cannot have all sort of ingredients, but this she is allowed to eat.
damn it looks delicious, is it less sugar and calories?
I am sure it is @walterz. Thanks for commenting
Orange and chocolate is a wonderful combo! I don't care to admit how many orange filled chocolate bars I have eaten, lol!
These look so yummy. ๐
Ok, we won't count. Thanks @uglysweater
They look good!!๐๐๐
I am so glad you liked them @alovelymess. Do you like orange with your chocolate?
I do! It's the bestest thing ever! ๐๐๐๐๐
They look great! Can I ask for the recipe?
I hope your arm will be fully yours again soon!
Oh, how sweet of you @playfulfoodie! And of course you may have the recipe, it's up top!
Great! Thanks for pointing me to it :D
Mmmm these look good and for a treat fairly healthy with that Coconut milk going on instead of cream! Sucks having a cast on, I've broken 2 bones in my life and just hate it!! On the 7th July I am going into hospital again for a spine operation and will then be out of action for 7 weeks eeeek !! xx
So sorry to hear about the spine operation. Will you have free use of your hands? If so, you'll still be able to contribute to steemit.
I lost the full use of my left arm a few months back, so this operation should bring it back :-) . I have a 4 hour operation and then 5 nights in hospital, so I may disappear from Steemit for a week or so, but after that hopefully I'll be able to contribute. Not many people are looking at my posts at the moment, so I dare say no one will notice !! haha xxx
Thanks again for posting such beautiful food pictures. I really like this orange theme you have going. The color orange really pops out again in these pictures. The orange rind you added to the top of each popsicle is a really nice touch. :)
Thanks @rockjon and it smells amazing too, you must try!
Wow theselook fantastic! Love the contrast of the chocolate and the orange zest, yum โฅ
