a handful of raisinsoptional

Instructions
Prepare the Popsicle Mixture
Whip the Cream: Pour 250ml heavy cream (make sure it's well-chilled) into a clean mixing bowl. Add 80g sweetened condensed milk to the cream. Using a whisk or an electric mixer, whip the cream and condensed milk together until it reaches a semi-whipped consistency, where it forms soft peaks but is still slightly fluid.
Combine with Milk and Yogurt: In another bowl, mix 200ml whole milk with 150g yogurt until smooth. Gently fold this yogurt-milk mixture into the whipped cream mixture, stirring until everything is well combined. This will be your popsicle base.
Fill the Molds and Freeze
Prepare the Molds: Rinse and dry your popsicle molds thoroughly. Carefully pour the popsicle mixture into each mold, leaving a small gap at the top to allow for expansion as they freeze.
Note: If you like, add a few raisins into each mold before freezing for an extra burst of flavor.
Freeze the Popsicles: Cover the molds with their lids and place them in the freezer for 4-6 hours, or until the popsicles are completely frozen and solid.
Make the Chocolate Coating
Melt the Chocolate: Place 180g chocolate and 60g coconut oil in a heatproof bowl. Melt the chocolate using a double boiler, stirring until it's completely smooth and liquid.
Note: Maintain a gentle heat while melting the chocolate to avoid burning it. Stir continuously for a smooth consistency.
Add Peanuts (Optional): If you'd like extra crunch, stir 50g crushed peanuts into the melted chocolate. Mix well to distribute the peanuts evenly throughout the chocolate.
Coat the Popsicles
Unmold the Popsicles: Remove the popsicles from the freezer and carefully take them out of the molds.
Dip in Chocolate: Working quickly, dip each popsicle into the melted chocolate, making sure it's coated evenly. The chocolate will harden almost instantly on the frozen popsicle.
Extra Freeze (Optional): For a firmer coating, place the chocolate-dipped popsicles on a plate and return them to the freezer for 10 minutes to let the chocolate set fully.
Store and Enjoy
Store for Later: Once the popsicles are completely set, you can individually wrap each one in a sealed freezer bag, then place it back in the freezer for storage.
Enjoy: When you're ready, grab a popsicle straight from the freezer and indulge in the creamy, chocolatey delight with a nutty crunch!
