Healthy Homemade Fudgsicle Recipe

MY KIDS GIVE THESE VEGAN TREATS 4 THUMBS UP!

homemade fudgsicles

Summertime is right around the corner, and I don't know about you, but in my house that means that a plethora of frozen treats is required to keep the troops happy. Well, not just the troops—frozen treats make me happy, too! There is just something so lovely about cooling off on a warm summer's day with a delicious sweet treat.

These homemade fudgsicles are the new favourite treat in my house; my kids love them and I do, too. They are healthy, vegan, and wonderfully creamy. They are also a snap to put togetherafter all, in summertime the living should be easy!

Ingredients:

2 cups unsweetened coconut milk (from a carton, not canned)
1 very ripe avocado
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup maple syrup
4 teaspoons vanilla extract

 

  In a blender, combine all ingredients, and blend until smooth. The consistency should be that of a very thick chocolate milkshake.

  Pour into ice pop moulds, freeze until firm (about 4 hours).

  Enjoy!

Yield: 10-12 fudgsicles, depending on the size of the mould (size matters, people).

It's so easy to make! Watch me whip these up in a flash.
