Apples are fruits that we can find very easily throughout the year. In addition, they provide very few calories, contain a lot of fiber and keep us satiated for longer. They are key in most weight loss diets, so it does not hurt to learn an easy and healthy recipe. We have seen crunchy lollipops in many grocery stores, but they are full of added sugar and chocolates with terrible nutritional value.
Here we show you how to make crocanti lollipops, with just three ingredients and in less than an hour. A healthy snack, with very few calories and ready to satisfy all your sweet cravings.
Pay attention to the ingredients
You can make two versions: the healthy ones or the ones loaded with sugar. Obviously, we are looking for the version that provides the best values. To do this, we have to ensure that we consume a chocolate of more than 80% cocoa, and check that the first ingredient is cocoa paste.
In addition, it is important that the chosen almonds are natural or toasted, but not fried or dipped in salt. You will not need to sweeten the lollipops with anything, the apple provides the necessary sweetness.
Ingredients
- 1 red apple
- Sliced almonds
- 125 grams of chocolate 90% cocoa
- Lollipop sticks
Preparation
We start by melting the chocolate in a water bath. We bring water to a boil in a pot and, in a smaller saucepan, we put the chopped chocolate.
Place the chocolate saucepan on the pot with hot water and move the chocolate until it melts completely.
We cut the apple into wedges and prick the sticks to create our lollipops.
Spread each of the apple slices in the chocolate and let the excess drain off. Right at this moment, we toss the almonds over the top and prick each lollipop on a piece of white cork so that they remain standing.
Do the same with the other apple pieces and put them in the refrigerator until the chocolate is completely solid.
