Peanut Butter Popsicles Recipes

FROZEN CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER POPS

Steps:

• Put 4 ounces chocolate in a medium bowl. Bring 1/2 cup heavy cream to a simmer in a small saucepan; pour over the chocolate and let sit 5 minutes. Add the vanilla and salt and whisk until smooth; set aside to cool to room temperature.
• Combine the remaining 1 cup heavy cream, the confectioners' sugar and peanut butter in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Fold the peanut butter whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture in three batches until just incorporated but still airy. Freeze until the mixture is firm enough to scoop, about 30 minutes.
• Lightly coat a 1 1/2-inch ice cream scoop or tablespoon with cooking spray. Scoop balls of the frozen mousse onto a parchment-lined baking sheet (about 1 heaping tablespoon per ball). Gently press a lollipop stick halfway into each ball. Freeze until firm, at least 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, combine the remaining 8 ounces chocolate and the coconut oil in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until the chocolate is melted and smooth; set aside to cool.
• Put the peanuts in a small bowl. Loosen the mousse balls from the baking sheet with a small offset spatula. One at a time, dip the balls into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip back into the bowl. Return to the baking sheet and sprinkle with the peanuts while the chocolate is still wet. Return to the freezer until ready to serve.

PEANUT BUTTER PUDDING POPS

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium heat, heat milk until bubbles form at edges. In a bowl, combine sugar, cornstarch and salt. Add 1/4 cup of the hot milk to the cornstarch mixture, then whisk well until all the liquid is incorporated and there are no lumps. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the milk, whisking to combine. Continue to cook and stir until mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a metal spoon, about 8 to 10 minutes. Do not boil. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract and peanut butter.
• Pour the pudding into the pop molds to within 1/4 of the top, leaving room for the pudding to expand. Place the tops on the mold and freeze until frozen solid, about 4 hours. To remove from molds, run under hot water to slightly melt the side of the pudding pop, then twist the stem top and remove.

• Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl; gradually mix into the peanut butter mixture until completely integrated into a dough. Divide dough into 12 equal portions.
• Insert a wooden stick into the small end of each candy bar. Wrap a dough piece around each candy bar to completely cover. Arrange the cookie pops 4 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
• Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, 14 to 16 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets for 10 minutes before removing to a cooling rack to cool completely.

PEANUT BUTTER AND BANANA POPSICLES

Steps:

• Five bananas makes about 9 or 10 3-oz. popsicles.
• For each banana, use 1 TB peanut butter. If the bananas are very ripe you may not need to add honey or chocolate syrup.
• Puree in a blender, adding a liquid if necessary to make it pourable. I've used soy milk and this produces a nice smooth texture, but regular milk, juice or water would work as well.
• Pour into molds and insert wooden stick. Freeze at least two hours or overnight.
