Description

These rich and creamy fudgesicles are super chocolatey and made from whole, nutritious ingredients. Vegan, gluten-free and refined sugar-free, you can feel good about serving these to kids for a delicious treat!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 medium ripe avocados, peeled, pitted and chopped
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (or cacao powder)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk
  • 3/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • optional (but recommended): 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips, melted* (see notes)

Instructions

  1. Blend. In a blender, puree all ingredients until smooth. You may have to scrape down the sides or tap the bottom of the blender to get out any air bubbles. Try to avoid adding more liquid if you can as this will water down the recipe. But if you must, you can add a couple more splashes of non-dairy milk to get the blender going. See my Blenders at Every Budget post for blender recommendations. 
  2. Pour into molds. Pour (or spoon) the chocolate mixture into your popsicle molds to freeze. This recipe makes 8 fudge pops using these molds OR it makes ten, 2.5 ounce fudge pops using the mold pictured in the blog post above. 
  3. Freeze. Freeze until solid (4-6 hours or preferably overnight). The fudgesicles will stay good for up to 4 weeks in your freezer. See notes below from the chocolate drizzle option.
  4. Serve. Serve immediately. After about 20 minutes they will start to melt at room temperature.

Notes

To make these extra choclate-y add 1/4 cup melted vegan chocolate to the blender. I love Hu Kitchen brand which is dairy-free, soy-free and refined sugar-free. You can also use the melted chocolate to drizzle overtop the set popsicles. Allow them to set another 10 minutes in the freezer after you add the chocolate drizzle. I recommend doing this on a parchment lined baking sheet.

If you love this recipe, try my Nutella Fudge Pops next! They are also dairy-free, refined sugar-free but do not contain avocado.
