These homemade fudgesicles are prepared in 5 minutes with 4 simple ingredients and a blender. Enjoy these chocolate popsicles any season.
Homemade fudgesicles are easily prepared by blending a few simple ingredients at home. A fudgesicle is a frozen creamy dessert on a stick, typically made with chocolate. Mine are made in a blender with milk, chocolate and a hidden veggie or fruit. No cooking or even cornstarch are needed.
Similar in texture to my cookies and cream popsicle, these easy fudgesicles are high in protein and fiber much like many of my popsicle recipes.

Why You'll Love These Fudgesicles
- Wholesome ingredients. This chocolate popsicle contain milk, chocolate and avocado, or banana.
- Copycat fudgesicle. This homemade fudgesicle is a copycat of the store bought Fudgesicle launched in 1946. That treat contains high fructose corn syrup and other artificial ingredients. This homemade fudgesicle is healthier, with no additives.
- Easy to make. Just blend up the mixture, pour in popsicle molds and wait for them to freeze. Keep them in the freezer for kids, family and friends to have a summer treat whenever.
- Allergy friendly & dairy-free. These fudgesicles are dairy-free, vegan, gluten-free, and nut-free so everyone can eat them.
Ingredients
- Coconut Milk. I used coconut milk, but any full fat milk works.
- Cocoa powder. You can also use cacao powder which is healthier but more expensive.
- Chocolate chips, melted. Use semi-sweet chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate bar) or sweeter.
- Avocado. Use a fresh, soft ripe avocado. Or a banana works as well if you'd prefer.

Step 1: Blend up the avocado and other popsicle ingredients.
Step 2: Pour mixture into a popsicle mold.
Step 4: Freeze. Insert sticks, and put the mold in the freezer for about 4 hours or overnight. To remove, run hot water over the bottom of the mold to loosen the popsicles enough so you can then yank them out.
Substitutions & Variations
- Instead of using melted chocolate to sweeten the fudgesicle, add ⅓ cup maple syrup and add the chips unmelted to provide a chocolate chip crunch in every bite.
- Instead of avocado, use a banana.
- Instead of coconut milk, use any milk. The higher the fat, the creamier the popsicle.
- As a variation, add a tablespoon of peanut butter for a Reese's cup twist, or a handful of peanuts for extra crunch.
Recipe Tips
- Make sure the avocado is ripe or over-ripe.
- Use semi sweet chocolate chips or sweeter. There is no sugar in these popsicles so the sweet flavor comes from the melted chocolate. Or you can add maple syrup if you taste the mixture and it seems not sweet enough.
- Once you pull the pops out of the mold, lay them on parchment paper and refreeze right away because sometimes pulling them out of the mold defrosts them slightly.
Storage
Store the frozen fudge popsicles in a sealed container in the freezer for up to 6 months.
