Assorted garnishes: Sprinklesfreeze dried raspberries, roasted chopped almonds, extra chopped dark chocolate, chopped chocolate sandwich cookies, chopped peanut butter cups
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the chocolate almondmilk, cocoa powder, agave, and salt. Heat over medium low, whisking continually, until the cocoa dissolves, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour the mixture into a medium bowl, then whisk in the chia seeds. Let cool to room temperature.
Cover the bowl with plastic and refrigerate the mixture until the mixture is completely chilled and the chia seeds are plumped, about 2 hours more, whisking once halfway through and breaking up any clumps. (You can also let the mixture sit overnight). Once chilled, divide evenly between 6, 8-ounce or larger ice pop molds (you can also pour into a smaller mold—you will just have more than 6). Freeze pops until completely solid, at least 8 hours or overnight. Let sit at room temperature a few minutes before unmolding. If the pops stick to the mold, run the plastic ends of the mold under warm water for a few seconds, until they loosen.
To make the chocolate dip, melt the semi sweet chocolate and coconut oil together. Drizzle over the pops or dip the pops directly into the chocolate. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with any desired toppings (or place toppings on a plate or in a bowl and "dunk" the pops into them). Place in a plastic bag or on top of a parchment lined plate or baking sheet and return to freezer for a few minutes to set the chocolate if needed. Enjoy!
