White Chocolate Shell and Assembly:

- In a medium bowl, combine white chocolate and coconut oil. Place bowl over a pot of filled with 2-inches of barely simmering water. Make sure the bowl does not touch the water. Melt white chocolate gently, stirring often to ensure even heating. Remove from heat, making sure to whip off any moisture from the bottom of the bowl.
- Pour melted chocolate into a drinking glass or bowl. Working quickly, dip frozen pop into melted chocolate. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off. Immediately sprinkle toasted coconut on top. Place on parchment line baking sheet and repeat with remaining pops.

- Canned yellow jackfruit can be used in place of fresh ripe jackfruit. Resulting mixture will be sweeter.
