Vegan Fudgesicles
By: Sharon @ thehonoursystem.com/
This is a spin off of a favourite of kids of all ages, the fudgesicle.
But instead of high fructose corn syrup and refined sugar this version is made from natural ingredients. It is totally guilt free and totally vegan. Oh, and one more thing…it’s totally friggin’ delicious! Creamy, fudgy and completely satisfying, you won’t miss out on all the crap that they add into the store bought product. If you have kids, this is a great recipe for them to get involved in the kitchen by helping you with the prep work. All you need to do is measure and blend. Although they may be a little freaked out when they see the secret ingredient. It’s what gives these fudgesicles their creamy, velvety texture.
Drum roll please……
Avocado!
That’s right, avocado! Plop a ripe avocado into your blender with some almond milk, cocoa powder and vanilla and in a few hours you will have made magic in your freezer. It’s fun to try to get people to guess the secret ingredient. They will never get it, I swear. But really, no one is going to care as they will all be busy slurping away on their tasty frozen treats.
Ingredients
3 cups soy milk (or almond milk, etc.)
1 avocado, cut into chunks
1/4 cup agave (or honey)
4 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tsp. vanilla extract
Directions
Place all ingredients in a blender, and blend on low speed until mixture is smooth.
Pour into popsicle molds and freeze for about 6 hours.
To remove fudgesicles, run the mold under warm water for a few seconds and they will slide right out.
The important thing to start out with is BPA free popsicle molds. I picked mine up at Stir Kitchen Store [http://www.stirkitchenstore.com/] in downtown Burlington Ontario, CA. BPA has been linked to heart disease, intestinal damage and infertility just to name a few so please be aware of it and do your very best to avoid plastics and other items like tin cans that contain BPA.
Note: we have smaller popsicle molds, so this recipe makes about 8 fudgesicles for us. If you have larger ones, it'll be a little less. Feel free to tweak the ingredients to suit your taste!
