Chocolate Avocado Popsicles
Chocolate Avocado Popsicles
Chocolate Avocado Popsicles are made with avocado to create an instant fudgy taste without any hard work. It’s dairy-free and can easily be made keto-friendly depending on what kind of sweetener you use.
After many humid summers in Southern Ontario, I started making my own healthy homemade popsicles.
This has become a favorite of mine because it literally tastes like the most indulgent dairy-free fudgesicles.
Avocado is widely used in the dairy-free community to replace cream in recipes. It’s also perfect in this chocolate avocado mousse.
Avocado mixed with chocolate and some coconut milk to thin the mixture is so perfect for these popsicles!
Tools for this Recipe
For this recipe you will need:
Chocolate Avocado Popsicles Ingredients
- ripe avocados
- unsweetened cocoa powder
- sugar or preferred sweetener
- coconut milk
- sea salt
How to make Chocolate Avocado Popsicles
Place all the ingredients in a small food processor or blender. Mix until smooth.
Taste test for desired chocolate flavor and sweetness. Add more if desired.
Spoon the mixture into a popsicle mold. Take a knife and wiggle it around the popsicle mold to remove air bubbles.
Add the popsicle sticks.
Should be frozen in about 3 hours. To remove from mold, run warm water over the mold and gently pull on the popsicle stick to remove the popsicle from the mold.
How can I make this keto-friendly?
You can easily make these popsicles keto-friendly by using erythritol instead of sugar.
What can I use instead of coconut milk?
You can heavy cream, yogurt, almond milk, oat milk… any milk alternative. Coconut milk would be best because of its creamy nature.
I’m allergic to nuts. Is coconut a nut allergy?
If you are allergic to nuts it makes sense to wonder if you can eat anything made with coconuts. Coconut is not a botanical nut; it is classified as a fruit. If you are allergic to tree nuts, please talk to your allergist/doctor before adding coconut to your diet.
How do I store these?
Keep these popsicles stored in their popsicle molds. If you need to use the mold for another recipe keep them stored in an airtight container in your freezer.
