Peppermint Choc-chip Iceblocks

February 21, 2019 | After School Snacks, Ice-blocks

These Peppermint Choc-chip Iceblocks are quick and oh so easy to make and crammed with so much nourishment. And delicious to boot!

These Peppermint Choc-chip Iceblocks are currently my sons favourite snack and I’m not complaining. They take literally minutes to make and don’t require the oven which in QLD summer, is a godsend. Plus, all that goodness disguised in this tasty iceblock, what more could you want from an icy treat?

I freeze these in my Onyx stainless steel iceblock moulds. I also freeze them in little containers so the kids can pack them in their lunchbox. By morning tea they are soft enough to scoop out and eat easily.

 

Take a look at the variations (below the main recipe) for suggestions to alter the recipe to suit any specific dietary requirements.

These Peppermint Choc-chip Ice-blocks are quick and oh so easy to make and crammed with so much nourishment. And super delicious to boot!

Ingredients

  • 400 ml canned coconut milk (I used Ayam brand)
  • 1 handful baby spinach
  • 1 avocado/s -medium sized
  • 115-170 g rice malt syrup, honey or maple syrup (⅓-½ cup)
  • 15-20 drops food grade peppermint oil or peppermint essence or peppermint essence, to taste
  • 40 g cacao nibs (⅓ cup) or dark chocolate chips if you'd prefer

Method

  • Place the coconut milk, baby spinach, avocado, sweetener and peppermint oil in a high speed blender or food processor and blend until creamy.
  • Taste the mixture to check the mint flavour and sweetness is right for you. I do find the flavour intensifies and is much more delicious when the mixture is frozen. 
  • Fold in the cacao nibs or choc-chips and then pour into mould and freeze until firm.
  • Remove from the moulds and enjoy. I find running the mould under water helps to release the ice-blocks.

Variations

Fructose Friendly

Choose rice malt as your sweetener.

Coconut-free

Replace the coconut milk with cows milk or a nut milk.

School lunchbox

You can always freeze this into re-usable pouches or little cups and pack from frozen for a icy morning tea. For heaps more lunchbox inspo (150 pages to be exact), take a look at my best selling ebook The Well Nourished Lunchbox.

I hope you and your kids love this recipe as much as we do. Post a comment below and let me know.

    Thank you so much for your delicious nourishing recipes!
    I have just made these iceblocks and popped them into the freezer, my son asked me if I was making guacamole, I said no I’m making ice blocks, he didn’t look to sure! When it had finished blending, I asked him to grab a spoon and have an open mind, it was awesome! Cant wait for them to freeze.
    You have done it again, you recipes have become my favourite go to recipes!

      Ah thanks so much – that’s so funny Michelle. Neither of my kids like avo as is but they have come to accept it is delicious in other forms, smoothies, ice block, guacamole etc; Appreciate the 5🌟, Georgia x

    Wow!! what a great recipe!! i made these for the kids yesterday and they wanted to try them for breakfast this morning. massive hit!! and they had no idea they were eating spinach and avo!! i think they thought ‘mummy had lost her marbles’ when i let them have seconds of ice cream for breakfast!! i have been looking for a good recipe for a coconut milk icecream with the right texture that doesn’t freeze rock hard. is it the avo that helps it to stay an ‘icecreamy’ texture? thank you so much for a great recipe!! xx

      Ha ha Rachel – so glad you all enjoyed them. My son agrees wholeheartedly that these are the bomb!Yes it is the avo that helps avoid the icy texture straight coconut milk delivers. You’re very welcome, Georgia x

    Admittedly I was dubious. Didn’t need to be. Really lovely icypoles.
    Kids and I both enjoyed them. The ingredients go together so well. Thanks so much for the recipe. I’ve shared it with friends already.

    These are seriously the best ever ice blocks! The kids aren’t fans of peppermint flavour but if they were they wouldn’t even notice all the other goodness in there as they are like the real peppermint choc chip store bought stuff. More for me I guess!

    I have a question Georgia, I was too quick to run out and get peppermint oil, so I’m pretty sure I got the wrong one… “Normal” peppermint oil is obviously not for consumption..?

    Hi Georgia, I have so much fresh mint in my garden. Can I use that instead of peppermint essence?

      Yes, I did try that first and it was lovely, not quite as minty though (my recipe testers voted the mint essence). I also found the older thicker leaves left a bit of courseness so pick the younger leaves if possible. This is another great sweet recipe for fresh mint https://wellnourished.com.au/mint-chocolate-fudge/
