Homemade Fudgesicles

These homemade fudgesicles are rich, chocolatey, and creamy while being made with simple, wholesome ingredients. They have the smoothest texture that stays creamy straight from the freezer, and you'd never guess the secret ingredient is avocado. They’re perfect for hot summer days, after-school snacks, or those nights when everyone wants a little frozen chocolate treat.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 (13.5 oz) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 medium ripe avocado
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup maple syrup see notes below
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ⅛ tsp salt
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Add the coconut milk, avocado, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to a high-powered blender.
  • Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy with no avocado pieces remaining. The smoother the mixture, the creamier the fudgesicles will be.
  • Pour the mixture evenly into popsicle molds, leaving a little room at the top for expansion as they freeze.
  • Freeze for at least 4–6 hours, or until completely solid

Notes

  • You can reduce this down to 1/3 cup if preferred, but I don’t recommend going lower since the maple syrup not only adds sweetness, but also helps keep the fudgesicles softer and creamier instead of freezing too icy or hard.
  • Use a high-powered blender to make sure that the ingredients are fully blended and smooth. I love using this nutribullet blender. A super smooth base gives the fudgesicles that creamy ice-cream-like texture.
  • Use a ripe avocado so that it blends completely smooth and creamy.
  • Stick with full-fat canned coconut milk for the creamiest texture and to prevent icy popsicles.
  • Taste the mixture before freezing and adjust the maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter fudgesicle.
