To end the meal, and this scorching hot week, one must have dessert. I claim absolutely no credit for this recipe: there are a few similar recipes kicking around the internet and Pinterest, but I more-or-less follow the version posted by Chocolate Covered Katie.
These delicious homemade fudgsicles are almost too good to be true, as they are vegan (depending on the sweetener), gluten-free, and contain only six ingredients, all of which you’re likely to have on hand:
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder (Feel free to use your good stuff here; it makes a difference)
- 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk (Shake the can before pouring. You want the coconut cream to incorporate into the liquid)
- 2 small, very ripe bananas
- a couple of dashes of salt (trust me…)
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- sweetener to taste ( I use honey sparingly as I find ripe bananas are sweet enough; agave or stevia work as well)
Chuck everything into a blender and blend until smooth, pour into freezer pop molds, and freeze until set. Then, try to eat just one.

I can’t wait to try this!! Except….I do not have any popsicle molds!! Looks like a trip to…well somewhere that sells popsicle molds…is in my near future! I will totally blog about this… man…now I’m hungry.
These look really tasty! I will have to try them this summer.
It is great to see you back on here, Marcelle!
Oh, these sound so good! Definitely need to try this recipe. Do you think using light coconut milk would completely ruin them?
I don’t have popsicle molds either… do you think ice cube trays would work for mini treats?
I am so going to make these for dessert Monday. What a great way to make Monday better 🙂
