1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

# Instructions:
01 -
In a mixing bowl, combine coconut milk, heavy cream, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavor.
02 -
Fold in the shredded coconut, stirring until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
03 -
Pour or ladle the prepared mixture evenly into popsicle molds. Place molds in the freezer and freeze for several hours until completely set.
04 -
Melt dark chocolate and coconut oil together in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, or use a microwave in short intervals, mixing between each round. Remove from heat and stir in a pinch of sea salt.
05 -
Carefully remove the frozen popsicles from the molds. Place them onto a wax paper-lined baking sheet or cutting board. Return to the freezer to keep them firm.
06 -
One by one, remove each pop from the freezer. Hold over the melted chocolate and drizzle or pour the coating evenly with a small ladle. Quickly return each pop to the wax paper-lined sheet in the freezer. Sprinkle with extra shredded coconut if desired.
07 -
Once all pops are coated, return them to the freezer to set the chocolate. Store popsicles covered in the freezer until ready to serve.

Before serving, allow popsicles to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Serve immediately for optimal texture.
# Notes:
01 -
For a fully dairy-free version, substitute all heavy cream with an equal quantity of coconut milk.
02 -
Ensure popsicles are completely frozen before unmolding to achieve clean, defined shapes.
