Avocade Dark Fudge Chip Popsicles. The most delicious avocado popsicle recipe on the planet. I kid you not. I have hundreds of healthy recipes on this blog, and this is my favorite by far. Healthy, raw, vegan, plant-based. And creamy and chocolatey and delicious.
Yes it takes a bit of prep: you have to soak 1/2 cup cashews overnight, have to have a can of coconut cream in the frig, and dates and cacao powder and an avo. But IF YOU DO? WOW, your dreams will come true with the first delicious frosty fudgy bite. And if I’m wrong, your money back, so to speak😍.
INGREDIENTS
makes about 2 1/2 cups or 10 popsicles
- 1/2 cup raw cashews, soaked overnight
- 1 can coconut cream (I use this brand —I used to use Trader Joe’s, but as of mid-2017, they changed the ingredients and the new version no longer blends as before.)
- 1 cup homemade date paste (my recipe below*)
- 1 avocado
- 1/2 cup cacao powder (I love this brand)
- 4 tbsp vegan chocolate chips (I use this brand) (optional)
- I used this popsicle mold
METHOD
Throw all ingredients in blender, blend smooth, pour chocolate layer into molds, pop in freezer for 15 minutes, insert sticks, pour 2 tbsp melted chocolate over the tops of each (melt chips by putting pyrex measuring cup in a pot of boiling water for 2 minutes, don’t let water touch chocolate), and freeze another 4 hours or overnight.
To remove, dip mold in a pot of hot water and tug until they slide out. It’s quite a process, don’t let anyone tell you removing is easy. BUT once they are out, decorate and eat!
TO decorate, I dipped my frozen pops in 2 tbsp melted vegan chocolate (melt chips by putting pyrex measuring cup in a pot of boiling water for 2 minutes, don’t let water touch chocolate), and after dipping tips of pops in melted chocolate, coat with crumbs or coconut or nuts, your choice, or eat plain.
*Date Paste How-to: Soak 1 cup raw medjool dates in water over night; pit, blend with 1 tbsp lemon juice. For recipes, 1 tbsp of paste equals 1 date. Keeps 1 week in frig.
