Notes:

  • Carrot should be finely grated and well-squeezed to prevent excess moisture and improve digestion
  • Coconut yoghurt should be thick/Greek-style for best binding
  • If mixture feels too soft, chill 10 minutes before rolling
  • Monk fruit keeps recipe low-glycaemic; dates increase carbs and FODMAP load
  • Pops can be stored frozen up to 2 weeks; keep chilled once coated for best texture
  • Best served slightly chilled (not fully frozen) for optimal flavour and digestion
