These Healthy Fudgesicles are a delicious and nutritious frozen treat made with ripe bananas, unsweetened almond milk, and pure cocoa powder. Sweetened naturally with honey or maple syrup, they are perfect for a guilt-free dessert or snack that is easy to prepare and requires no baking.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • ¼ cup pure cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the ripe bananas, almond milk, cocoa powder, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Blend Mixture: Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding more honey or maple syrup.
  3. Fill Molds: Pour the fudgesicle mixture evenly into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top to allow for expansion during freezing.
  4. Insert Sticks and Freeze: Insert the popsicle sticks into the molds and freeze for at least 6 hours or until completely solid.
  5. Unmold and Serve: To remove the fudgesicles from the molds, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds and then gently pull on the sticks.
  6. Storage: Store any leftover fudgesicles in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

  • Ensure bananas are ripe for maximum sweetness and flavor.
  • Adjust the sweetness to your preference by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup.
  • If you don’t have almond milk, you can substitute with any other plant-based milk or cow's milk if not avoiding lactose.
  • For a creamier texture, add a tablespoon of nut butter or avocado before blending.
  • To easily remove fudgesicles, briefly run warm water on the mold exterior instead of leaving it too long to prevent melting.
