With slightly wet hands, divide the mixture into 6 portions and shape into round mounds and insert a popsicle stick into each one.Place the pops on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 2-3 hours until firm.
Chocolate Coating
- Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in tall glass (easier to dunk the pops in to coat) and microwave with 20 second bursts stirring between each one until melted and smooth.Or use double boiler method - (pot of boiling water with a bowl resting on top) melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together.Remove the pops and after checking they are firm and set, hold each one by the stick and dip into the melted chocolate until fully coated, then place back on the parchment lined tray.Or hold each one with a fork over the melted chocolate and spoon it over letting the excess drip back into the bowl. Place back in the fridge for chocolate to set about 10minutes.Once chocolate is set and crisp, enjoy your Protein Pops.
