Cherry Coconut Fudgesicles

Ingredients:

• 1 (13.5 oz) can full fat coconut milk
• 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/3 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 3/4 cup cherries (I used frozen, dark sweet cherries)
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 8 ounces dark chocolate, melted
• 1/2 cup toasted, shredded coconut

Instructions:

1. Combine the coconut milk, Greek yogurt and powdered sugar in a blender until smooth.
2. Pour half of the yogurt mixture into a separate bowl and set aside.
3. Add almond extract and cherries to the mixture that remained in the blender and blend until smooth.
4. Add cocoa powder to the mixture that you put in a separate bowl, whisking until smooth. If your cocoa powder has lumps, you may need to sift it first.
5. Fill the bottoms of 6 popsicle molds halfway with the chocolate mixture. The chocolate is heavier so I like to put it on the bottom.
6. Pour the cherry mixture on top. If you like, take a skewer or knife and gently swirl them together.
7. If you've got a popsicle mold with a lid that holds the sticks in place, go ahead and add the lid with the popsicle sticks and freeze for about 5 hours or overnight. If you don't have a popsicle mold with a lid, freeze for 2 hours before adding the popsicle sticks so that they will stay in place.
8. When the popsicles are frozen, gently remove them from the molds by running them under a little hot water. Dip partially in melted dark chocolate and toasted, shredded coconut.
