You can probably tell I’m on an ice cream and popsicle kick the last few weeks as the most recent recipes have been everything ice cold! The heat of summer puts in me in the mood for it and my body temperature is currently warmer than ever before thanks to a sweet growing a bean in my belly. What about you?
If you haven’t tried Lynsey’s recipe for Toasted Coconut Milk Ice Cream, then you must! If you’re more of a popsicle gal or guy then my most recent tea popsicles will chill you out and you can watch a fun recipe video too.
Have you been making popsicles? If so, share your recipes below! The other night I totally had a hankering for a joyous fudgsicle but wasn’t too keen on sending my blood sugar on a rollercoaster for a store-bought one, nor do I want to put 25 chemical ingredients into my body (as you will see below).
As you can tell from the photo below, I think my kitty Miss Nellers was slightly jealous :0) The bambina in my belly enjoyed them too! They were creamy, decadent and totally guilt-free.
I made these fudgsicles with 100% PURE REAL WHOLE food ingredients.
Yes, that deserved UPPER CASE caps because the ingredients in typical store-bought popsicles or frozen bars are rarely whole or real. Especially those “skinny cow” ones! I totally used to buy those years ago thinking that they were better because they had “skinny” in the name.
This couldn’t be further from the truth. I mean look at the list of ingredients. There’s barely anything food-like! And you can bet they use genetically modified canola and soy — GROSS! Propylene glycol is a liquid alcohol that is used as a solvent and the main ingredient in antifreeze. It’s bad enough you find this chemical in nearly 90% of personal care products, but in food?
I could spend the next 750 words dissecting how gross and non-food-like this product is, but instead of that, let’s talk about this amazingly tasty and creamy recipe!
I don’t know about you but I love a little crunch in my frozen treats. This is why I also added some mini chocolate chips.’

Chocolate Chip Fudgsicles Made with Coconut Milk
PrintIngredients
- 1 can full fat coconut milk (400mL)
- 1/4 cup raw cacao powder
- 2-3 tbsp maple syrup*
- 2 tbsp Enjoy Life Dairy-free mini chocolate chips
- Other ways to sweetnen: 2 medjol dates, 1 banana, 10 drops liquid stevia
- Place all your ingredients in a food processor or blender and give a whirl until fully combined. I suggest you taste test it and decide if you want a sweeter taste. Sometimes pure raw cacao powder can have a slightly bitter aftertaste.

Hi Joy,
This new receipt seems delicious, I can’t wait to try it!
How long can I keep these popsicles (chocolate and tea/pineapple) in the freezer?
Thank you and you look amazing!
My son and I made these yesterday and they are very yummy!!
What a wounderfull healthy treat!! My children and I loved it! It was like having a “real fudgsicle” Thanks for sharing this recipe.
These are delicious! Thanks Joy for sharing such a great recipe. Can you tell me where you bought your popsicle molds? They are so nice!
You’re very welcome!

Hi Pauline,
They can keep several months in the freezer, although I’ve personally never known popsicles to last more than a few days in the freezer before they disappear.

Glad they were a success!

I notice the asterisk next to the maple syrup but no further explanation.
Hi Ofelia,
Joy’s actually not a huge fan of the ones we used for the photo shoot. These are the ones she recommends: http://www.mastrad-paris.us/silicone-ice-pop-push-molds-4851.html

Hi
Just want to check on Chocolate Chip Fudgesicles, you mentioned to put in refrigerator. Are they to be frozen?
Thanks
Haha, that’s definitely a typo or rather my baby brain playing tricks on me. These need to be frozen, sorry for the confusion!
Sorry for the confusion. The asterisk is meant to have a note that says it’s “optional”. You don’t have to add it. I suggest giving it a taste test and seeing how you like it.
Is coconut milk considered dairy?
The coconut milk in the green can has some ingredients that I don’t know if they are ok? What brand is good?
Love the fudgesicles!!
When using canned coconut milk should the ingredients include guar gum, polysorbate 60, and sodium meta bisulphate?
That’s the ingredients on the can of coconut milk that I bought to use for the fudgesicles.
Is this ok? It’s made in Richmond Hill, Ontario.
If not please suggest another.
Thank you
Hi Cathy,
Coconut milk is dairy-free. It’s just made with coconut flesh so it’s a great option for vegans as well as those who are just looking to avoid dairy.

Hi Cathy,
Native Forest is my fave brand. It’s ingredients are just organic coconut, purified water and organic guar gum, plus the cans are BPA free.

Hi,
The fudgsicle was yummy, but we have some trouble shooting issues. I followed the instructions and put the popsicles in the freezer for 24 hours, but when we tried to pull them out of the molds….all the fudge stayed in the molds. We just used spoons to eat them out of the molds lol. I don’t know where I went wrong. Any tips? Thanks!
Hey Amy! Hmmm that’s a tricky one! My popsicle molds have little holes in the sticks so that once the popsicles have set, they have something to “grab” onto (I hope that makes sense). Perhaps it’s an issue with the molds not being grabby enough? LOL. Also, you could try running the bottom on the molds under water before pulling the popsicle out. This should help loosen them up for easier removal. I hope you enjoyed them (even with the manual labour)!

Hi… i make these all the time and they are delish. I came back today to verify the recipe, but i can’t seem to find it. Only the blog post is showing, even after I login. Has it been pulled?
Hey Angela – sorry about that! The post is fixed now, recipe and all. Let me know if you need anything else!
Can I use the low fat coconut milk?
Hey Lindsay, We would suggest using full fat coconut milk to guarantee results and because there are many fat soluble nutrients in coconut milk (aka vitamin A, D, E and K) that can’t be absorbed without healthy fats being present. Hope that helps to clarify things 🙂 Rachel – Joyous Health Team
Hi Joy. So you know how many fudgecicles this makes? I have an eight compartment mild but can only find 7 sticks. Each holds 1/4 cup. Thanks!
Hey Joy (another Joy – so cool!), That should be fine 🙂 I believe Joy used an 8 compartment mould for this one too. If you have extra, you can pour it into gummy moulds or chocolate moulds and pop them in the freezer too! Rachel – Joyous Health Team
You have to read the ingredients on the container. Some coconut milks add additional gums and fillers. Some even have sweeteners. But they are dairy-free.
Hi Joy,
Will try these.
What moulds do you recommend?

Ideally metal or silicon if you can find them.
