Rich and chocolaty, these healthy Fudgsicles (aka Chocolate Popsicles or Fudge Pops) are the perfect summer treat! An easy chocolate magic shell coating makes them even better.

Growing up for my sister and I, summer meant swimming at the big town pool, biking for hours on end, catching frogs from the creek behind our house, and eating ice pops until our hearts’ content. I liked the red “flavor” (cherry, probably? Lol), but the chocolate fudgsicles were my top choice!

Instead of picking up popsicles on your next trip to the grocery store, make them at home! Once you make your own and see just how easy it is, you’ll want to experiment with all kinds of different flavors.

There’s absolutely no reason fudgsicles can’t be healthy and still taste delicious.

Healthy Fudgsicles (aka Chocolate Popsicles or Fudge Pops)

The trick to making healthy creamy fudgsicles with rich chocolate flavor is to use avocado, coconut milk, and unsweetened cocoa powder as the base. Avocado is loaded with heathy fats, is a good source of vitamin K, folate, and potassium, and has just 2g net carbs per 100g serving. (Read more about the health benefits of avocado on Healthline.)

Cocoa adds depth of flavor, and using unsweetened cocoa powder instead of chocolate allows you to choose which sweetener to add. I like to use a blend of Swerve Confectioners and stevia glycerite to make these low carb fudgsicles.

Tips For Making Chocolate Avocado Ice Cream Pops

Blend the mixture really well so that there are no chunks of avocado in these fudge pops.
Don’t skip the coffee extract, it helps pull out the natural flavor notes of the cocoa.
The fresh lemon juice might sound like a weird addition, but it helps mask the avocado flavor and adds a bit of bright, fresh flavor.

How to Make Popsicles

To make popsicles:

Blend all ingredients.
Pour the mixture into your favorite popsicle mold.
Freeze.

One of the biggest tips I have for make perfect pops is to find a great popsicle mold. This is by far my favorite popsicle mold; it’s cheap and durable!

Pro Tip: When you want to unmold the pops, dip the plastic bottoms in warm water for a few seconds and they should slide right out.

Vegan Popsicles

In addition to being low carb and keto, these healthy fudgsicles are also naturally vegan!

Chocolate Magic Shell

So, what is chocolate magic shell? It’s basically liquid chocolate when you pour it on ice cream, but it hardens almost as soon as it hits the cold ice cream. It forms a deliciously satisfying crunchy hard shell that you crack through when you eat it. Chocolate magic shell is so much fun to eat!

I like to make my own homemade version of chocolate magic shell coating because 1) it’s easy to make, 2) it’s sugar free, and 3) it doesn’t have the additives and preservatives that the store-bought kind has.

And bonus, when you drizzle or coat these chocolate popsicles with chocolate magic shell, you can sprinkle toasted nuts on top for flavor and crunch before the magic shell hardens!
