Can the coconut be left out of this recipe?

Sure thing. If you're not a coconut fan by all means leave it out!

Can chopped nuts be added to frozen pineapple pops?

Of course!!

I suggest toasting them lightly first (in a dry skillet) to get the most flavor, but that's optional.

My (chopped) nut suggestions are salted peanuts, honey roasted peanuts, pecans, almonds, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, and cashews.

How long does this recipe take from start to finish?

Not long at all. Approximately 30 minutes until the pineapple pops are ready for the freezer.

Freeze them at least 3 hours and they're ready to serve.

FAQ:

Q - So I dipped my frozen pineapple popsicle in the chocolate and it did not stick! What did I do wrong? Did I have the popsicles out too long or was my chocolate microwaved too long?

A - If the pineapple is wet, the chocolate will not stick. If frozen and left out long enough for them to slightly melt, this will cause the problem.
You have to work quickly before they have a chance to thaw. If they do thaw slightly, blot any excess moisture with a paper towel before dipping.

How to make frozen pineapple pops dipped in chocolate and coconut:

• Cut pineapple slices into 2" - 3" pieces (canned or fresh pineapple works equally well for this).
• Insert a sucker stick or popsicle stick into each pineapple piece and lay them on a baking sheet.
• Dry each pineapple piece with paper towels and then freeze them for at least 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth and creamy.
• Toast the coconut in a dry pan, stirring frequently until the coconut is golden brown.
• Dip the frozen pineapple pops into the melted chocolate and then into the toasted coconut.
• Freeze again (for at least 3 hours).
