2 cans (27 ounces) coconut milk, full fat, 2 tablespoon pure maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a microwave safe container, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave for 60 seconds. Stir until melted.
½ cup (56g) chocolate chips
Pour ½ cup of this vanilla milk mixture into the melted chocolate and stir.

Notes
Use only 2 tablespoons of crushed cookies to each popsicle mold well. Using more might cause your popsicle to break apart.Add flavor extracts. Mint extract turns this healthy popsicle into a mint creamsicle. And orange into a chocolate orange popsicle.Different milks. Coconut milk's high fat content is what makes this popsicle taste like ice cream, but you can also use a different milk, even one lower in fat. You should know though that coconut milk fat is the healthy kind, made of short and medium chain triglycerides that are more likely to help you feel full and be converted into energy than longer chain fatty acids found in less healthy foods. Cookie swaps. Swap the oreo cookie for any brand sandwich cookie, or a different cookies, such as a ginger snap, a samoa cookie, or a cinnamon spice hermit cookie.Optional: Coat cookies and cream popsicles with chocolate. Melt ½ cup chocolate chips at 60 seconds in microwave. Allow to cool about 5 minutes, pour into a glass, and dip your popsicles halfway to create a chocolate dipped treat. Sprinkle that with crushed cookies or nuts and lay popsicles on a pan lined with parchment paper and put in freezer to set about 10 minutes.
