Ingredient notes
Use ripe avocados and full-fat coconut milk for the creamiest, fudgiest result. Exact measurements are provided in the recipe card at the end of this post.
- Avocados – Choose ripe avocados with soft flesh. Unripe fruit will make the mixture gritty and not smooth.
- Cocoa powder or cacao powder – Either works to give that deep chocolate flavor. Use unsweetened powder for the best intensity.
- Maple syrup – A natural sweetener that keeps the fudgesicles refined sugar free. Honey can be substituted if desired.
- Coconut milk – Full-fat canned coconut milk yields the creamiest texture. Unsweetened cashew or almond milk can be used as a lighter alternative.
Recipe variations and add-ins
- Double chocolate. Fold in a handful of dairy-free chocolate chips for pockets of melted chocolate in each popsicle.
- Nutty crunch. Add chopped toasted nuts or cacao nibs for texture.
- Flavor twists. Stir in a pinch of espresso powder for mocha notes or a pinch of cinnamon for warmth.
How to make avocado fudgesicles
Step 1
Place all ingredients in a high-speed blender or a food processor.
Step 2
Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Pour the chocolate mixture into popsicle molds and insert sticks.
Step 3
Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight. To release from plastic molds, briefly run warm water over the outside before pulling the sticks.
Top tips
- Use ripe avocados for the smoothest texture; they should yield slightly to gentle pressure.
- If you don’t own a high-speed blender, a food processor will also produce a smooth, creamy mixture.
- If you use a plastic mold, warm water around the outside for a few seconds makes removal much easier.
- Serve promptly. These fudgesicles are best enjoyed shortly after removal from the freezer before they begin to soften and drip.
Avocado fudgesicles FAQs
No. These fudgesicles are not low-carb or keto.
They are not sugar-free, but they are refined sugar free when sweetened with maple syrup and contain less sugar than many commercial fudgesicle recipes.
No. The dominant flavor is rich chocolate; the avocado provides creaminess without a noticeable avocado taste.
Store in the freezer for up to three months. Keep them in the mold or an airtight container to avoid freezer odors.
