By now I think you’ve understood that I’ve developed a passion for my beloved popsicle molds purchased about a month ago! And in such a short time, I’ve already experimented with many fresh ideas based on fruit and yogurt for healthy and genuine snacks without guilt, but I think this version is the one I appreciated the most! A soft heart made of avocado and coconut milk, covered in chocolate! Few ingredients for an incredibly tasty and healthy result, lactose-free, and no bad fats like cream or mascarpone! Coconut milk, in fact, does not contain cholesterol and being completely plant-based, it is included in the list of foods allowed in vegan diets. Like coconut milk, avocado also helps lower levels of bad cholesterol in favor of good cholesterol. However, I would like to emphasize that while they are both healthy and nutritious foods, they are quite caloric, so please, consume them in moderation! With this necessary premise made, you absolutely must try them because the texture of avocado gives a really interesting final texture which, combined with dark chocolate, will leave you particularly surprised! A nice compromise for those who want to enjoy a quick homemade treat, fresh and delicious! A genuine snack, a dessert after a meal, which you can occasionally indulge in or offer to friends and family!

CURIOSITY: Did you know that coconut milk provides a fair amount of fiber and thus helps increase the feeling of fullness, keeping appetite at bay? Coconut milk is indeed considered a sort of hunger regulator, but this doesn’t mean it can be consumed regularly, since 100 ml of coconut milk provides many calories, about 197, not to mention the presence of fats, among which lauric acid, which, however, would have a preventive effect on cardiovascular risk, actually helping to raise good HDL cholesterol levels.
