Serves: 6 fudgesicles
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Slice ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a high-powered blender or food processor.
- Add cocoa powder, maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the blender. Blend until the mixture becomes completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
- Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if desired by adding more maple syrup, blending briefly to incorporate.
- Pour the chocolate avocado mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small space at the top for expansion during freezing.
- Insert popsicle sticks into the center of each mold, ensuring they are standing straight.
- Place the filled molds in the freezer and allow them to freeze completely, which typically takes about 4-6 hours or overnight.
- To remove fudgesicles, run the molds briefly under warm water to help release them easily.
- Serve immediately and store any remaining fudgesicles in a sealed container in the freezer for up to one week.
Tips
- Choose perfectly ripe avocados: Look for avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure but aren't mushy. This ensures a smooth, creamy texture.
- Blend thoroughly: Take your time blending to create an ultra-smooth mixture. Any lumps will affect the final texture of your fudgesicles.
- Taste and adjust: Before freezing, taste your mixture and adjust sweetness. Different avocados and maple syrups can vary in sweetness.
- Use quality cocoa powder: A good dark cocoa powder will enhance the chocolate flavor and provide a rich, deep color.
- Invest in good popsicle molds: Silicone molds work best for easy removal and clean release of your fudgesicles.
- Freeze completely: Patience is key! Allow at least 4-6 hours of freezing time for the perfect texture.
- Easy removal trick: If struggling to remove fudgesicles, run molds under warm water for a few seconds to help release them smoothly.
