Real Food Homemade Fudgesicles ~ there’s nothing like a creamy, chocolaty + NOURISHING, ice-cold fudgesicle on a hot summer day.
Nourishing, real food homemade FUDGESICLES
Who could resist?! There’s nothing like a creamy, chocolaty, ice-cold fudgesicle on a hot summer day.
My Little Love is a huge fan of these fun popsicles. I grew up eating the ones that come in the yellow box … but they’re not something that I would serve to my family. Have you seen the ingredients?
nonfat milk, sugar, corn syrup, whey, high fructose corn syrup, water, palm oil, cocoa processed with alkali, tricalcium phosphate, mono and diglycerides, cellulose gum, guar gum, malt powder, salt, polysorbate 80, polysorbate 65, carrageenan”
Real food homemade fudgesicles are a summertime must!
You can still enjoy that nostalgic treat with healthier and nourishing ingredients. Homemade fudgesicles have to be on the must make list!
What makes these real food homemade fudgesicles nourishing?
The beautiful, smooth, creamy AVOCADO! Yes, I said avocado. Don’t worry, the “green” flavor will not come through once the other ingredients are added. The avocado makes the mixture so incredibly creamy.
Nutritional benefits also come from the raw cacao powder, raw honey and raw milk {REAL milk … you can use organic or grass-fed milk too, just make sure it’s whole milk}.
Skip the store-bought packaged fudgesicle popsicles and give these a try!
Real Food Homemade Fudgesicles
Real Food Homemade Fudgesicles
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado, remove pit, quarter
- 4 tablespoons raw organic cacao powder
- 2 teaspoons organic vanilla extract
- ¼ cup raw honey {I use local raw clover creamed honey}
- 3 cups raw/grass-fed/organic whole milk or cream* or full-fat coconut milk
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in blender.
- Blend on a lower setting until smooth and combined. No avocado pieces should remain. Strain through fine mesh strainer if needed.
- Pour mixture into popsicle molds.
- Place in freezer for at least 6 hours.
- When frozen, run under warm water for a few seconds, just enough to release the mold.
Notes
YOU WILL NEED: Blender, Popsicle Molds
Yield: Makes about 4 cups mixture, finished popsicle yield varies.
*You can use a combination of cream and whole milk too. {See my About page for milk and cream resources - scroll to bottom of the page}
Note: The popsicle molds I use hold about ½ cup liquid. I am able to make 8 popsicles with this recipe {I have 2 sets of popsicle molds}.

July 28, 2011 at 8:23 pmAvocados are great for getting that creamy texture aren’t they? I’m making strawberry ice cream this very minute using lots of avocados! If it turns out, I will post the recipe Saturday. Looks really yummy!

August 3, 2011 at 2:08 pmYum! I love fudge bars but rarely have them because I can’t find any decent ingredient list in the frozen section. I’ll have to make these! I’d love to invite you to share this with Healthy 2day Wednesdays this week and other posts that fit in the future! (I also have a natural & organic giveaway going right now)
HAve a great week!

August 3, 2011 at 3:03 pmI had just posted a fudgesicle recipe when I saw yours, lol. I like how you kept the milk raw and we’ll be trying your version as well. 🙂
Emily Sunwell says
August 3, 2011 at 4:55 pm@ Rachel – I know what you mean about store-bought popsicles, the ingredient list is never that great. I hope you enjoy these! Thanks so much for letting me know about “Healthy 2day Wednesdays”, I will check it out now and post 🙂 Have a great week too!

August 3, 2011 at 8:48 pmsounds super yummy! do you have any tricks for getting them un-molded? i had made some homemade popsicles and no matter how hard i tried the would either not come out or break in half.

Emily Sunwell says
August 3, 2011 at 10:58 pm@ Georgia – The best I can offer is to warm them a bit by running them under hot water, you should start to see them release a bit in the mold. Then I kind of squeeze the mold on the sides, if that makes sense, then very slowly pull the popsicle out of the mold. I have had the breaking problem before too. I use Tovolo molds, and I had that problem with the star popsicle molds, the ones pictured above seem to release much better. I have also noticed that certain popsicles freeze better than others and if they are not quite frozen enough, they break easily. I have not had the breaking at all with the fudgesicles though. It seems that the breaks occur more with fruit/smoothie popsicles. Hope that helps some.

March 19, 2012 at 2:50 amthese are amazing!!!!! I made them with coconut milk because I was out of raw milk and they are so yummy. I have been dreaming up new popsicles since I recently got my stainless steel popsicle molds from onyx. I love to make pops but eating them hasn’t been something I enjoy until these!!! I plan to make these OFTEN! Thank you so much!
Emily Sunwell says
March 19, 2012 at 3:36 amThank you SO much for your kind words! I really appreciate it. I am so glad you’re enjoying them. Take care 🙂
Amy says
April 26, 2012 at 9:34 pmJust made these – wow, out of this world! I have a small set of freezer molds, so there was plenty left over & my son and I enjoyed chocolate shakes! Will be making these again. Too bad my hubby is allergic to avocados :-(.
Emily Sunwell says
April 26, 2012 at 9:37 pmThank you so much for sharing Amy! I’m thrilled that you both enjoyed them so much.

August 22, 2013 at 10:07 pmAny idea if bananas would have the same effect as the avocado? Although I enjoy avocado they make my tummy upset :-/ Well hey! I’m gonna try it. The texture might not be as creamy but I can’t imagine combining banana, chocolate, and raw milk would taste bad!!!
Emily Sunwell says
August 22, 2013 at 10:17 pmI’m sure it will be delicious, maybe a bit different with the texture, but still yummy.

August 6, 2015 at 1:50 pmI can’t tell you how happy my kids would be if I made these for them!! They’re a perfect {GAPS} recipe for our family. I make them a lot of ice cream; but I haven’t made any popsicles yet this summer (I know, gasp!); so they would be hog wild about these!! Thanks for sharing such a nourishing treat!!!

August 7, 2015 at 9:45 amI have heard some people use balsamic vinegar in their chocolate avocado recipes. They say it really makes the flavor of the chocolate pop. Have you ever tried it? These look wonderful btw! 🙂
Emily Sunwell-Vidaurri says
