Macadamia Nut Pops Recipes

MINI WAFFLE POPS WITH CHOCOLATE, COCONUT, AND MACADAMIA NUTS

Steps:

• Preheat and grease a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
• Whisk milk, eggs, butter, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl; stir into flour mixture just until batter is moistened.
• Pour 2 teaspoons batter into the preheated waffle iron for each waffle, leaving spaces between each. Insert a lollipop stick about 3/4 of the way into each pool of batter; close the lid. Cook until golden and crispy, about 1 minute. Transfer each waffle pop to a cooling rack and repeat with the remaining batter.
• Melt dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each melting, 1 to 3 minutes. Transfer melted dark chocolate to a pastry bag fitted with a small writing tip or a resealable plastic bag with the corner snipped; drizzle over 1 side of each waffle pop.
• Melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, 1 to 3 minutes. Transfer melted white chocolate to a pastry bag fitted with a small writing tip or a resealable plastic bag with the corner snipped; drizzle over the dark chocolate.
• Sprinkle coconut and macadamia nuts over the melted chocolate, pressing lightly to help toppings stick while chocolate cools and firms.

MACADAMIA NUT POPS

Steps:

• Put the vanilla ice cream, coconut milk and 1 cup of the macadamia nuts in a blender. Blend until completely smooth. Gently fold in the mochi bites. Divide the mixture among ten 3-ounce waxed paper cups and place on a baking sheet or plate.
• Finely chop the remaining 1/4 cup macadamia nuts and sprinkle evenly over the ice cream mixture in the cups. Place an ice-pop stick into the center of each cup. Freeze until solid, at least 6 hours and up to overnight.
• Use kitchen shears to remove the cups from the pops before serving.
