  • Vegan Fudgsicles with Almond Butter

These Almond Butter Fudgsicles really hit the spot during lazy hazy summer days and they are so much more satisfying than your average ice lolly. Not only are they tremendously easy to bring together, merely requiring 5 minutes, a blender and a popsicle mould. But all of the ingredients, almond butter, coconut milk, maple syrup, chocolate and salted almonds are larder/pantry staples. They might actually all be in my top ten favourite ingredients in my own larder so it is no wonder that I am totally enamoured with these Vegan Fudgsicles.

The fudgsicles themselves are a cinch to make and the chocolate almond dip is also a five minute job once the fudgsicles are frozen.

Dark chocolate melted with coconut oil is a bit of a magical beast, as it freezes immediately into a hard shell as soon as it touches the fudgsicle. Meaning that you pour your coconut chocolate into a tall glass, dip your fudgsicle in and out, and then by the time you are presenting it onto parchment so you can do the next one, the chocolate is practically set.

It just leaves you enough time to sprinkle in some crushed salty almonds and then you are done. I’d recommend placing these dairy-free fudgsicles in the freezer to set nice and hard but that only takes about 10 minutes.

Total list of ingredients

  • Coconut milk (tinned)
  • Almond butter (make sure it's the drippy stuff from the top of the jar - not the hardened sludge at the bottom)
  • Vanilla extract
  • Maple syrup
  • Chocolate - dark chocolate is great here for these chocolate fudgsicles. Do check it's vegan if you need it to be.
  • Coconut oil
  • Salted almonds - these are for crumbling over the chocolate dip so they are optional but the crunch is so good.
  • Salt

How to make them

(For full recipe instructions go to the recipe card at the end of this post)

  • Blend. Pour the coconut milk, almond butter, vanilla extract, maple syrup and salt into a blender and whizz together until smooth.
  • Freeze. Pour into popsicle moulds, stick a wooden stick in each one and freeze overnight.
  • Remove. Remove the almond fudgsicles from the mould and place back in the freezer until ready to coat in chocolate.
  • Chocolate dip. Melt chocolate with coconut oil, pour into a tall glass and dip each fudgsicle into the chocolate. Scatter with almonds.
  • Freeze again. They will be ready after 10 minutes or you can leave until ready to eat.

  • Ice Pop Maker - this is one of my favourite moulds to use. Very sturdy and easy to remove the vegan fudgsicles if you run them briefly under hot water then they slide out.
