Delicious homemade ice lolly inspired by chocolate and avocado mousse, perfect for hot summer days.
I’ve been making healthy homemade ice lollies for my son for 2 years now and they are such a great snack during the hot summer months. They are so simple and easy to make, a healthy alternative to the shop bought ones that are loaded with sugar, artificial colors and who knows what else.
Most of the time I just blend a selection of fruit and sometimes sneak in some veggies, but for this recipe I wanted something the grown ups would enjoy as well:)
Inspired by chocolate and avocado mousse this is a delicious homemade ice lolly. Chocolate and avocado work really well together and with adding some banana and maple syrup for extra sweetness this lolly is a must try. Many supermarkets sell ice lolly molds these days and you can also find a great selection on Amazon.

Do you think this would work substituting the almond milk for coconut milk?
