Ingredients
- 2 avocados (remove pit and skin)
- 3/4 cup + 1 Tablespoon of Cocoa Powder (Hershey's special dark is my favorite!)
- 1/3 cup milk (dairy or nondairy) *I used almond.
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 Tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup agave (can also try coconut palm nectar)
Preparation
Step 1
Combine all ingredients in food processor until smooth.
Use a piping bag to get filling into the molds (to avoid a mess). Tap the containers so that the air bubbles pop.
Stick in the freezer overnight, or until they freeze. (I like to freeze mine for like 36 hrs before eating)
If your fudgsicles are hard to remove from their containers- run the popsicle mold under hot water briefly and the fudgesicles will come loose.
You may be able to get away with using honey or coconut palm nectar. I used agave due to the fact that it does not have a strong flavor. I saw "blonde" coconut nectar in stores the other day..I have not tried it yet, but think it may work well in this recipe. If you use honey you may need less than the 1/4 cup that I have called for.
Having been sugar free for over a year. I have come to love dark chocolate not too sweet. Therefore you may find these pops are more rich than super sweet. Taste the chocolate mousse before you put it in the molds and feel free to add a little additional agave if you want.
While I have not tried to make these sugar free, I suspect that the sugar might be needed. Without sugar- popsicles and ice cream typically become icy hard.
