Cooling off with a popsicle in the summer just feels right! But these aren’t your average popsicles; these are homemade using some amazing products from Ferris Coffee and Nut Co. Not to mention they are completely vegan and gluten-free.

Ferris Coffee and Nut Co. is a family-owned and operated company based out of Grand Rapids Michigan. Committed to roasting the best specialty coffee and premium nut products, Ferris has been creating moments of joy and connection since 1924. You can enjoy a cup of their delicious coffee at the Capital City Café and find many of their products here in the Capital City Market. Make sure you grab a bag of West Coast Blend Coffee and a cup of Ferris walnuts on your next shopping trip to make these Creamy Coffee Popsicles!

Picture this: a creamy coffee-flavored pop goes for a swim in rich dark chocolate and gets topped off with crushed walnuts for that extra crunch. Are you drooling yet?! This recipe requires just one bowl and a popsicle mold. The hardest part is waiting for them to freeze and trying not to eat the whole batch in one sitting.

Homemade Coffee Popsicles

ingredients

For the popsicle base:

For the chocolate shell:

  • 1 cup dairy free dark chocolate chips

  • 2 tsp refined coconut oil

For topping:

directions

  1. In a large bowl with a whisk or hand mixer, stir the coconut cream until smooth.

  2. Add in the remaining popsicle base ingredients and stir until combined.

  3. Pour mixture evenly into 10 popsicle molds. The amount of popsicles this recipe yields may vary depending on the size and shape of your molds.

  4. Freeze overnight or until solid.

  5. Take out of the freezer and let sit for a few minutes before removing popsicles from the mold.

  6. Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe cup/mug, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30 second intervals, stirring after each.

  7. Line a large plate or baking sheet with parchment paper.

  8. Remove popsicles from the mold and dip each one about 1/3 of the way into the melted chocolate. Shake off any excess chocolate and place on parchment paper.

  9. Quickly sprinkle crushed walnuts on top of the chocolate before it hardens. Repeat for each popsicle.

  10. Store the popsicles in an airtight container in the freezer until ready to eat.
