Are homemade fudgesicles gluten-free and dairy-free?

Yes! These easy fudgesicles are naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, and sugar-free. If you decide to add chocolate chips for extra chocolatey taste, you will need dairy-free chocolate chips to make them completely free of dairy. I recommend Enjoy Life brand , which are dairy-free, gluten-free, and non-GMO. Thrive Market has the best price for both Enjoy Life brand and canned coconut cream. Surprisingly, they even beat out Walmart’s prices!

Ingredients

Scale

(1) 13.5 oz can full-fat coconut milk or coconut cream
¼ cup chocolate chips (I use dark chocolate chips)
3 Tbsp cocoa (I use raw cacao)
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt
3 Tbsp maple syrup
**Banana (optional) or ½ avocado if you’d like

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Add all of the ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend on low until well combined. Taste, and add more cocoa or maple syrup if desired (usually 1 Tbsp will do the trick). You want the batter to be a little too sweet, as the sweetness will get muted once the pops are frozen.
Pour into popsicle molds and freeze for 6-8 hours, preferably overnight.
Run the mold under warm water to remove easily, and enjoy!

Notes

If you want to use wooden popsicle sticks, let the fudgesicles freeze for about 45 minutes. Then place the wooden sticks in the popsicles and continue to freeze until completely solid.

**Banana (optional). Another natural sweetener option, but it also adds a creamy factor! If you don’t like bananas, you can use a very green banana OR ½ cup Greek Yogurt (plain or vanilla) or ½ avocado.

Ways to Customize Chocolate Fudge Pops

Stir in 2-3 Tbsp of peanut butter
Melt 2-3 Tbsp of chocolate chips and stir into the batter for an extra chocolatey popsicle!
Melt 2-3 Tbsp white chocolate chips and drizzle over the top for a pretty fudge pop
Substitute dairy-free yogurt for the banana
