Make your own creamy, dreamy, vegan fudgesicles with 4 ingredients and 5 minutes of your time!  A delicious and healthy frozen treat that is absolutely irresistible!

Of all popsicles, the Fudgesicle has always been the queen for me; it can be licked or bit or slurped - whatever your heart desires, and still each taste yields pure chocolatey richness.   Yummmm!

Added bonuses with this dairy-free Vegan Fudgesicle recipe -

  • Coconut milk makes these vegan popsicles even creamier than their dairy nemesis
  • No refined sugar is needed
  • They're gluten-free
  • They have just FOUR ingredients!
  • Did I mention how crazy easy these are to throw together?!

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 cup coconut milk (use canned for the creamiest fudgsicles)
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: pinch of salt, or cayenne pepper (to balance the sweetness, or for a spicy kick!)

You'll also need: A whisk and a bowl (or a blender), and of course - popsicle molds! I use these, and I think they have the best classic popsicle shape and they are pretty easy to get the popsicles out of the molds (more tips on that below!)

How to make Vegan Fudgesicles:

Add Cocoa powder, canned coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to a medium sized mixing bowl (Photos 1 & 2).

Whisk all ingredients together until completely smooth (Photo 3) and pour carefully into your favorite popsicle mold (Photo 4).  Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.  Enjoy!

How many popsicles does this recipe make?

This recipe makes about 1 ½ cups of vegan Fudgesicle mixture - just enough to fill five popsicle sections in my popsicle mold.

What is the best popsicle mold?  

I actually have a couple of different kinds of popsicle molds.  I waffle between liking the re-usable plastic stick molds, and the replaceable wooden stick mold as pictured in this recipe.  I'm currently using this Norpro Frozen Ice Pop Maker, and I like it because it is compact, and yet I can make ten pops at a time if I want!!  Oh, and it's cheap - that's always good, right?

How to get your popsicles out of the mold:

Getting your popsicles to release from the mold can sometimes be a trick.  You can:

  • A) Fill a dish large enough to hold the popsicle mold with hot tap water.  Immerse the popsicle mold into the water most of the way (don't let water seep into the top of the mold and spoil everything!) and hold it there for about 30 seconds.  Attempt to remove a popsicle from mold gently, returning to the water for a few more seconds if necessary.
  • B) Run the lower part of the mold under hot running water for 2+ minutes to loosen the ice pops.  Test for release and repeat for a few more seconds if necessary.

How to store your popsicles:

The best part is that you can make these vegan fudgesicles up to a month ahead, and just keep them in your freezer until ready!  Voila!  Usually my fudgesicles are a bit moist after removing them from the mold.  If you want to freeze them for later, you can lay them out on a tray covered in parchment or wax paper, return to the freezer to solidify for 10 minutes or so, and then put them all in a bag or container together once they are frozen solid.

    Can I use sweetened condensed coconut milk, omitting the sugar? Just wondering, thanks!

      Yes, that should work! I'm just not sure about the amounts/proportions, since it might be too sweet if you only use sweetened condensed coconut milk. Give it a try and let me know how much of the sweetened coconut milk you used.
