Dairy Free Fudge Pops
Description
This recipe starts by heating almond milk with cocoa powder, chopped dark chocolate, coconut sugar, and a pinch of salt until everything melts together smoothly. A slurry of cornstarch and reserved almond milk is whisked into the mixture to thicken it on the stove for about a minute. Once thickened and removed from heat, vanilla extract is stirred in. Cooling the mixture before freezing ensures a creamy texture in the popsicles.
The resulting fudge pops deliver rich chocolate flavor with a silky, icy consistency, suitable for those avoiding dairy. Coconut sugar adds mild sweetness with a slightly caramel note.
The recipe allows swapping coconut sugar for granulated sugar if unavailable and using dairy milk if dairy is not a concern, making it flexible for various dietary preferences.
Ingredients
- 2 cup almond milk reserve two tablespoons for cornstarch slurry, unsweetened
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1 1/2 ounce dark chocolate I used Lindt 70% cocoa
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- Pinch kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan on medium heat stir together; almond milk, chocolates, sugar and salt until chocolate and sugar is melted (about 4-5 minutes).
- Make a slurry. In a small bowl whisk together two tablespoons of reserved almond milk and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch/arrowroot.
- Once it's smooth, whisk it to the saucepan with all the ingredients. Whisk until it begins to thicken (about 1 minute).
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Let cool for about 20 minutes before pouring into popsicle molds. Freeze for at least 4 hours.
Notes
- Organic coconut palm sugar is used here but granulated sugar can be substituted if unavailable.
- Almond milk is used for dairy-free purposes, but any milk can be used if dairy is acceptable.
