Notes
Expert Tips
- I highly recommend silicone molds, however, you can also use paper cups (or plastic cups) to make larger pops and insert a fork or chopstick into the cup in place of popsicle sticks. You can also use any other conventional molds (choose your favorite BPA-free brand) with a wooden stick or plastic sticks, depending on what you have on hand. You can also use an ice cube tray for bite-sized vegan fudgesicles.
- If you want to turn this into a scoopable ice cream, try a churner to maintain a softer texture.
- You can always add additional ingredients into your chocolate mixture if desired or make a second batch filled with fun mixins– banana, other fresh fruit, a little bit of peanut butter, or another nut butter, chocolate chunks, chopped nuts, and more! Chocolate peanut butter fudgesicles are definitely calling my name this summer.
