So Good Fudge Pops (with Avocado!)

Plan to make these in the morning of the day you want to serve them or the day before so they have time to freeze. See Notes for allergy-friendly substitutions. The amount of popsicles the recipe makes will vary according to the size of your mold.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 medium avocado (pit and peel discarded; about 1/2 cup avocado flesh)
  • ½ cup whole-milk Greek yogurt (or regular style)
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon smooth unsweetened almond butter (optional)
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a blender. Blend on low speed until combined, increasing the speed a little to make a smooth pudding. Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender if needed.
  • Taste the mixture and add a little additional sweetener if needed.
  • Spoon into popsicle molds.
  • Freeze for 4-6 hours or overnight until firm.
  • Remove from molds and serve cold. (You can let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes so they soften just slightly before serving if desired.)

Notes

  • Use ripe avocado that's just soft to the touch. You can also use slightly thawed frozen avocado.
  • Use regular plain whole-milk yogurt or Greek style. If you use regular plain whole-milk yogurt, I like to add the optional almond butter to ensure ultimate creaminess.
  • The amounts listed are my preference for ensuring that these taste like fudge pops, but you can reduce the maple syrup and/or the cocoa powder to 2 tbsp if you prefer.
  • Taste the mixture before you spoon it into the molds and add more sweetener as needed. (Some cocoa powder is more bitter than others.) 
  • Dairy-free, use a Greek-style dairy-free yogurt.
  • Store frozen popsicles in a freezer bag, sealed with as much air removed as possible, for up to 3 months in the freezer.
