Customization Tips for Your Oreo Pops
These pops are fabulous as is, but don't hesitate to add your personal touch. Try rolling the chocolate-dipped pops in crushed nuts or sprinkles for added texture and color. For a double chocolate version, use chocolate-flavored Greek-style yogurt. The possibilities are endless, allowing you to tailor this treat to your taste preferences.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of thick, vegan Greek-style yogurt, for a creamy base
- 1/4 cup of peanut butter, plus extra for filling, ensuring a rich peanut buttery taste
- 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, for a touch of natural sweetness
- Gluten-free Oreos, for that classic cookie crunch
- Chocolate, for melting, enveloping the pops in a decadent coating
Directions:
- Start by carefully separating the Oreos. Spread a small amount of peanut butter on the cookie halves without cream.
- Insert a popsicle stick into the peanut butter layer, then gently press the other cookie half on top to reassemble. Freeze for 10 minutes to set.
- In a bowl, combine the Greek-style yogurt, peanut butter, and maple syrup until you achieve a smooth, creamy mixture.
- Cover each Oreo pop completely in the yogurt mixture. Use a spoon or spatula to help evenly coat the pops. Freeze for 15 minutes to firm up.
- Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in a bowl, ensuring it's smooth and dip-ready.
- Dip each Oreo pop into the melted chocolate, ensuring a generous coating. Freeze until the chocolate is firm and the pops are thoroughly chilled.
- Before indulging, let the pops sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for the perfect texture.
