Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup non-dairy milk
- ½ cup coconut cream (thick part from the top of a can of coconut milk)
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Blend the mixture: Add the coconut cream, non-dairy milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well combined and there are no lumps of cocoa powder.
- Pour into molds: Carefully pour the blended mixture evenly into popsicle molds to prepare for freezing.
- Insert sticks and freeze: Place popsicle sticks into each mold and transfer the molds to the freezer. Freeze for 4 to 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until the fudgesicles are completely firm.
- Remove and enjoy: To unmold the fudgesicles easily, run the molds under warm water for 15 to 30 seconds. Gently pull out the fudgesicles and enjoy your healthy chocolate treat.
- Optional garnish: For added texture and flavor, drizzle melted dark chocolate over the fudgesicles and sprinkle with chopped peanuts before serving, as shown in the photo.
Notes
- Use full-fat coconut cream from a chilled can for the best creamy texture.
- Maple syrup sweetness can be adjusted according to taste preference.
- Non-dairy milk options like almond, oat, or soy milk work well in this recipe.
- For easier removal, briefly dip the molds in warm water before unmolding.
- Optional toppings like dark chocolate and nuts add extra richness and crunch.
