Notes

  • for an amazing treat. Put the chocolate shavings on the fudge pop part or on top of the shell--or both!
  • Dairy-free Milk Alternatives: You can use any kind of non-dairy milk (or even regular milk), but of course the results will vary some. Coconut milk, cashew milk, and cow's milk will make the most creamy popsicles, but unsweetened almond milk is also a great choice. Here's how to make your own coconut milk if you'd like to do that. If you aren't avoiding dairy, you could use regular full fat milk or even heavy cream, or combine the two for an ultra creamy treat.
  • Sweetener Alternatives: 36 drops of liquid stevia is about equal to 1/3 of a cup of sugar. For other sugar alternatives, you can use 1 1/4 - 1 3/8 teaspoons powdered stevia (estimate as best you can) and a dash vanilla extract instead. Use honey or maple syrup for AIP, but they are both sweeter than sugar so use about 1/2 - 3/4 the amount. Also, allulose is a GREAT sweetener to use. It doesn't crystallize and also helps frozen treats to not freeze up too hard so that's a win win!
  • Thawing Tip: Let the fudge pops them sit out for 5-10 minutes before serving, if you can wait that long! Sticking the molds in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes will help them thaw lickety-split.
  • Extra Protein: Feel free to add a few tablespoons of your favorite protein powder when blending the first five ingredients..
  • AIP: Use organic carob powder instead of cocoa and an AIP sweetener like coconut sugar or pure monk fruit extract.
  • Vegan: Omit gelatin or use organic agar in place of the gelatin.
  • These healthy fudge pops can be pretty intensely chocolate depending on the cocoa you use, so you might want to scale back on the cocoa or carob if you prefer something less dark.
  • For even more chocolate, you can totally dip these Keto Homemade Fudge Pops in this Homemade Chocolate Shell for an amazing treat. Put the chocolate shavings on the fudge pop part or on top of the shell--or both!
