by Kelly Gibney - Kelly Gibney Wholehearted
Matcha LOVES vanilla. The pairing is delicious. This recipe is beautifully decadent while still being wholesome and nourishing. The raw chocolate dip is optional but highly recommended! Ice pops will last up to 3 weeks in an airtight container in the freezer.
