This 5-Ingredient Avocado Popsicle Is the Creamy Summer Treat You’ve Been Waiting For

Renu Anshie Dhar, the personal chef behind the food blog SpiceRoots, created a recipe for avocado popsicles that's just as wholesome as it is satisfying. "These coconut avocado popsicles are vegan, lower on glycemic index than regular popsicles, and super easy to make," she says. "The coconut sugar makes them taste like caramel without the added work of actually making the caramel."

It only takes about five minutes of your time to make a batch of avocado popsicles for yourself. After blending up your avocados with coconut milk, honey, and a little coconut sugar, you simply pour the mixture into your popsicle molds (I like these molds made by CHICHIC, $15). Then freeze them up and enjoy. You'll wind up with a summer dessert that's a whole lot better for you than anything you'll find in the freezer section.
