Instructions

Wash the kiwis thoroughly.
Trim both ends of each kiwi and peel the skin.
Cut the kiwis into ¼-inch thick slices.
Use a star-shaped cookie cutter to create fun kiwi stars. If you don't have one, the round slices work just as well.
Line a tray with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Gently insert a popsicle stick into each kiwi slice.
Place the kiwi pops on the prepared tray and freeze for 4-5 hours, or until solid.
A few minutes before removing the kiwi pops from the freezer, combine the dark and milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
Melt the chocolate using a double boiler or short bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth. A double boiler ensures even melting and prevents scorching.
Remove the frozen kiwi pops from the freezer. Dip each pop into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated.
Immediately sprinkle the chocolate-covered pops with chopped almonds, desiccated coconut, and sprinkles (if using).
Serve immediately for a soft, gooey treat, or return to the freezer for 1-2 hours for a firmer pop.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

Kiwi can be substituted with any other fruit of your choice.
Preparation time is exclusive of freezing time.
For extra visual appeal, use a small star-shaped cookie cutter to cut the fruit slices before freezing.
For a dairy-free or vegan option, use high-quality dairy-free dark chocolate chips and replace traditional sprinkles with chopped roasted seeds or freeze-dried berries.
Try experimenting with other coatings like crushed pistachios, toasted coconut, or even a light dusting of chili powder.

Expert Tips

Ensure the fruit is completely dry before dipping it in chocolate to prevent the chocolate from seizing.
For a smoother chocolate coating, temper the chocolate before dipping.
Insert a popsicle stick into the fruit before freezing for easier handling.

Storage Instructions

Arrange the dipped and decorated kiwi pops in a single layer on a parchment-lined tray.
Store them in an airtight container in the freezer.
Separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking and preserve toppings’ crunch.
