dark chocolate tahini pops

i was looking for a recipe so i could finally use my popsicle molds before the summer is over. of course instead of finding a normal popsicle flavor, i found this following recipe. i've been putting tahini on everything lately so why not put it in my popsicle? i also looooove dark chocolate and try to use it as much as possible. and who doesn't love yogurt? mm. the only thing i cut out of the recipe was dates only because it was the only ingredient i didn't have in my house at the time. also i used american and not greek yogurt for the same reason. there will always be next time. altogether, the dark chocolate tahini pops are a thumbs up.

1 1/2 cups full-fat Greek yogurt

1 cup whole milk

8 large pitted dates

2 tablespoons tahini paste

3 tablespoons honey

3 ounces dark chocolate, chopped

1. Place the yogurt, milk, dates, tahini and honey in a blender. Blend until smooth. Sprinkle in the chocolate, cover and pulse briefly to crush the chocolate and incorporate the chunks into the mixture.

2. Divide the mixture evenly among the pop molds, pouring so that you leave about one-half inch of headroom at the top. Once they are filled, tap the molds gently against the counter, allowing the liquid to settle evenly into the molds and dislodging any air bubbles that may have formed. Cover the molds and fit with a popsicle stick, if necessary. Freeze the molds until completely firm, at least 5 hours. For easy unmolding, run the frozen pops under warm water for 10 to 15 seconds before removing them.
