* Healthy Fudgesicles Recipe
Remember Fudgsicles? Creamy, dreamy goodness that was more than just chocolate
ice cream on a stick. They were actually fudgy.
If you’re gluten free, I believe that Fudgsicle Brand pops are still off limits,
as they contain “malted barley extract” (and barley is not part of a gluten free
are no sugar added fudgesicles, and they seem to only have maltodextrin derived
from corn, but I can’t get a straight answer online. Personally, I’m not
You know how sometimes we say that a recipe is ridiculously to make, but only if
you don’t look too closely at what’s really involved? Well, this recipe
really is ridiculously easy to make.
Just whisk together coconut milk, milk and cocoa powder, and bring them to a
simmer over medium-low heat. Add chopped chocolate and whisk until the chocolate
is melted. Pour into popsicle molds and freeze. That’s it.

MY FAVORITE POPSICLE MOLDS
mold , you’ll want to wait until the mixture has cooled
a bit before pouring it into the molds. It will thicken quite quickly as it
cools, so just remove the pan from the heat and let a few minutes pass.
If your mold is the vertical kind like this mold from Progressive
, you’ll pour the mixture right into the mold. Wait
until the mixture thickens a bit before placing the sticks in it, unless your
popsicle mold has a guide for the sticks.
I love my silicone molds, like the ones you see in the photos here, because
removing the pops from the mold is always a sure thing. Just peel back the
silicone and the pop comes right out. With the other mold, running warm water
over the outside of the mold should loosen them enough for them to slide out.

INGREDIENT SUBSTITUTIONS
If you’re not dairy-free or you just don’t care for coconut cream, replace the
coconut milk or cream with heavy whipping cream. You really can’t taste the
coconut flavor of coconut cream, since the rich chocolate flavor masks it, but
there’s also no reason to use coconut cream if you prefer not to.

My favorite gluten free dark baking chocolate is made is 70% cacao. But sometimes, Baker’s Brand semi-sweet baking chocolate (56%
cacao), which is available in most grocery stores and goes on sale quite a lot,
is where it’s at. The sweetness and most of the flavor comes from the chocolate,
so keep that in mind when you choose.
COCONUT CREAM/COCONUT MILK
I have made this recipe with a 14 fluid ounce can of coconut cream, which has
very little liquid, and a 14 ounce can of full-fat coconut milk, which has more
liquid but still quite a lot of coconut cream.
The coconut milk version simply makes a slightly more icy, slightly less creamy,
fudgesicle. The how-to video is me making the fudgesicles with coconut milk.
If you use canned coconut milk that does have some liquid, you can also replace
the milk in the recipe with more canned coconut milk. That would make a creamier
I do not recommend making it with low-fat canned coconut milk, or coconut milk
from a carton. The water content is very high in those products, and the
popsicles will be icy, not creamy.
Dutch-processed cocoa powder has a deeper chocolate flavor, so it adds depth to
the pops. But instead of Dutch-processed cocoa powder, you can use natural
unsweetened cocoa powder.
Hershey’s Special Dark cocoa powder, which is a blend of natural and
Dutch-processed cocoa powder, is also a good choice.
