Healthy Homemade Magnums

The sun is shining, and that means it's time for ice cream! This recipe for healthy, homemade Magnums is an absolute favorite for summer days. They're creamy, fruity, and coated in a delicious layer of chocolate—but without any unnecessary sugar or artificial additives.

Ingredients (for 4 ice creams)

For the ice creams:

• 150 grams (1 cup) fresh or frozen strawberries
• ½ cooked beetroot (optional, for extra color and nutrients)
• 1 small banana
• 200 grams of Greek or regular yogurt
• A dash of honey or maple syrup (to taste)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the chocolate layer:

• 400 grams of milk chocolate
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil

Tip: You'll need a relatively large amount of chocolate to dip the ice cream properly. You can use any leftovers to make things like rice balls or cookies.

Supplies

• Blender (e.g. a Ninja Nutri Blender)
• Ice cube molds (preferably in a holder or on a plate)
• Baking tray or tray for the freezer

Preparation

Step 1: Prepare

Place the ice popsicle molds on a tray or baking sheet so you can easily put them in and take them out of the freezer later.

Step 2: Making ice cream

Blend all the ice cream ingredients until smooth. Taste and add a little more honey or syrup if needed. Divide the mixture among the ice cream molds and freeze for at least 4 hours, until completely frozen.

Step 3: Chocolate layer

Melt the chocolate with the coconut oil. You can do this in a double boiler or in the microwave (checking every 30 seconds). Pour the melted chocolate into a tall glass.

Remove the ice cream cones one by one from the mold and quickly dip them in the chocolate. Then place them flat on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.

Important:

Work quickly – once the chocolate cools, it becomes harder to coat the ice cream nicely.

Save

Don't want to eat them right away? Wrap the ice cream in a freezer bag or store them airtight in a container. They'll keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Enjoy this healthier twist on the classic Magnum – fresh, creamy, and with a crunchy chocolate coating!
