Can I make these sugar-free?

You can use a liquid sugar-free sweetener instead of maple syrup but keep in mind that this will change the flavor of the popsicles. The chocolate shell can also be made with sugar-free chocolate but the chocolate may not melt and harden the same way as regular chocolate.

What makes popsicles soft?

A lot of sugar content or things like high-sugar fruit or yogurt is what makes popsicles softer compared to ones made with high water content fruits or drinks and minimal sugar.

My popsicles are not coming out of the molds, why?

You need to run the popsicle molds under hot (not boiling) water so the sides of the popsicles let go of the molds and come out. If they're still not coming out, repeat the process. They only need a few seconds. If you keep them under hot water for too long, the popsicles may break in half when you're pulling them out.

Instructions

Add yogurt, milk, cacao powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sea salt into a blender. Blend until just mixed.
Pour the mixture into your popsicle molds and insert a popsicle stick into each one.
Freeze for at least 8 hours.
To take the popsicles out, run the molds under hot water briefly and carefully pull the popsicles out.
Transfer them back to the freezer in a freezer bag or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to ensure they don’t melt as you dip them in the chocolate.
Break up the chocolate bar and melt it in a double boiler with coconut oil.
Dip each popsicle in the chocolate or drizzle the chocolate on top. Lay the popsicles out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to set.
Store the popsicles in a freezer bag or a freezer-safe container in the freezer for 3-6 months.
