• Non-Dairy Chocolate Chips – Opt for high-quality non-dairy chocolate chips to ensure a rich, authentic chocolate flavor. You can also use cocoa powder but you’ll need to add a sweetener. Use about ¼-⅓ cup of cocoa powder plus ½ cup of sweetener like agave nectar, adjusting to taste.
• Vanilla Extract – Adds a little extra warmth and sweetness. Pure vanilla extract gives the best flavor, but use whatever you have on hand. Vanilla bean paste is a great option for an even richer flavor. Almond extract also works, but use just a few drops since it’s much stronger than vanilla.
• Salt – Makes the chocolate taste even richer. Fine kosher salt or regular table salt both work. If using table salt, use slightly less since it’s finer.

How To Make Fudgesicles

Here are the simple steps to make these homemade fudgesicles:

Step 1: Blend Ingredients – Place all of the ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend well until completely smooth. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides to make sure everything is incorporated.

Step 2: Pour into Molds – Pour the fudgesicle mixture into your popsicle molds. Make sure to leave a ¼-inch gap at the top of the molds to allow room for expansion as it freezes.

Step 3: Settle the Mixture – Tap the mold on the counter a couple times to help settle the mixture and remove any air bubbles.

Step 4: Add Popsicle Sticks and Freeze – Seal up your mold if it comes with a cover and add the popsicle sticks. Freeze the fudgesicles for 6-8 hours or overnight until completely frozen. Enjoy!
