Did you know? This Fudgesicle is a good way to
relieve anxiety and put you in a pleasant mood!
Dark chocolate, coffee, and  omega-3 fats 
tend to boost your mood, whereas sugar,
wheat (gluten) and processed foods have been
linked to a greater risk for depression and anxiety. 

Creamy Chocolate Fudge Popsicle Recipe
No ice-cream churn needed
Dairy-free (Kosher Pareve)

4 to 6 Fudgesicle
This recipe filled my processor.
(For 8, make this amount twice.)

Fudgesicle Recipe
(all ingredients at room temperature.)

1 defrosted overripe sliced banana
     (Room Temperature)

Need ripe bananas fast?

1 cup +2 tbs. coconut cream full fat (with no additives but water)
(Low fat milk becomes too frozen)

4 tbs. dark chocolate broken
1 tbs. unsweetened Cocoa or Cacao
melted with
1 tsp coconut oil and 1 tbs maple syrup)
1 to 3 tbs. maple syrup or honey (to taste).
It becomes a bit less sweet when frozen.
(Do not use Sugar-free sweetener. It
tends to be too icy).

1/8 tsp salt
1/4 tsp tapioca starch 
1/2 tsp of vanilla or vodka will help keep
       fudge pops from freezing rock hard.

OPTIONAL:
Mix in 1 to 3 tbs. tahini, peanut, (or any nut) butter
which makes it extra creamy.

Instructions:

Dairy-free fudgsicles ( I use coconut cream in place
of yogurt). If you want the the classic tart yogurt flavor,
you may add to the coconut cream: 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp
apple cider vinegar to taste. You can alternatively use
non-dairy yogurt.

Carefully melt the chocolate pieces with a bit of
coconut oil. I give them 20 seconds at
a time in the microwave and stir. Ingredients
need to be room temperature to keep
chocolate in a liquid state for blending.

Combine all ingredients until smooth.
(Omit the vanilla if using vanilla-flavored yogurt.)
I recommend using a food processor or blender or
immersion blender to ensure thorough blending.

Taste, and add more sweetener if needed – you
want the mixture to taste a little too sweet, as
sweetness level will decrease once frozen.

Pour into popsicle molds or dixie cups. Freeze.
After about a 1/2 hour, I insert popsicle sticks into
the fudgsicles and return them to the freezer.

Tip: To re-use your molds, you can carefully run tops of
frozen pops (in molds) under water, just until they let go.
Lay the frozen pops in an airtight container in the freezer.
Separate with foil if necessary.
