Chocolate Banana Popsicle (Fudgy, Vegan!)
Fudgy, creamy, and deliciously rich... these taste like a banana fudgesicle! Plus easy to make, naturally sweetened, and dairy-free.
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup plant milk
- 2 banana or 3 medium/small, large, ripe
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- Pinch salt
Optional:
- 2-3 Tbsp. peanut butter creamy
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender. Blend for about 20-30 seconds until smooth. Scrape down sides if needed and blend again.
- Pour mixture into popsicle molds (leaving a little space to allow for expansion). Place in freezer for about 6-7 hours, or until completely solid.
- To remove from the molds, leave them on the counter for several minutes, or run under warm water for a few seconds to help them slide out.
Notes
- Yield: Recipe makes about 2.5 cups (20 ounces) of the mixture pre-frozen. For my popsicle mold, this makes 8 (2.5-ounce) pops. You may find it's more or less depending on your mold.
- Nut butter: Add 2-3 tablespoons (or more) peanut butter or almond butter to the mixture. I prefer peanut butter for the taste and smoothness. This also makes the pops even fudgier!
