Prep Time: 10 min
Freeze Time: 4-6 hours
Total Time: 4hs 10 min, but really only 10 mins of actual work
Recipe Ingredients:
Important Note: Add different toppings & experiment with other flavors like vanilla or blueberry!
- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Recipe Instructions:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder and a small amount of coconut milk to form a smooth paste. This will help prevent lumps in the mixture. I've also had success gradually adding the cocoa powder to coconut milk in a blender.
- Pour in the remaining coconut milk while continuing to whisk until the cocoa powder is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Add the maple syrup or honey, sea salt, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Whisk until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.
- Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if necessary. If you prefer a sweeter popsicle, add a little more maple syrup or honey and whisk to combine.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion as they freeze.
- Insert popsicle sticks into each mold and place the molds in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours, or until the popsicles are completely frozen.
- To easily remove the popsicles from the molds, run the outside of the mold under warm water for a few seconds. Gently pull on the popsicle stick to release the popsicle.
Enjoy your delicious and creamy chocolate fudge popsicles! Store any leftovers in the freezer, obviously.
