Ingredients

Popsicle:

  • 1 14 ounce organic coconut milk
  • 1/3 cup roasted almond butter
  • 1/3 cup raw cacao
  • 6 large dates pitted
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 teaspoon pure almond extract

Chocolate topping:

  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 1 cup almonds raw
  • 1 tablespoon butter or coconut oil
  • pinch salt
  • flakey sea salt Maldon's

Instructions

  1. In a blender add all popsicle ingredients:  coconut milk, almond butter, raw cacoa, pitted dates, salt, vanilla, and almond extract.  Blend until smooth and creamy.  About 1-2 minutes.

  2. Pour into popsicle molds.  Freeze for at least 4 hours


  3. Meanwhile, coarsely chop almonds.  Melt butter in a medium size skillet then add almonds.  Stir over medium heat until the almonds are begin to brown.  Sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Remove from heat and cool completely.

  4. Before removing popsicles from the freezer and the molds, melt chocolate over barely simmering water.  Add coconut oil and stir until smooth.  If using coverture (the real stuff) chocolate, stir chocolate until cool to the touch.  About 85F degrees.  

  5. Carefully remove fudge popsicles from molds.  Dip into tempered chocolate and sprinkle with toasted almonds.  Sprinkle with flakey sea salt, if desired. Return to freezer until completely frozen.  

  6. Makes 9 popsicles.

Recipe Notes

  1. I like using Native Forest brand coconut milk.  It can be purchased from WholeFoods or Amazon. 
  2. Raw Cacao can be purchased at most grocery stores. WholeFoods, Thrive market, and Amazon are good resources.
  3. I used 6 large dates.  8-10 can be used depending on sizeof dates and your personal sweetness level.
  4. I like using roasted almond butter.  I love the brand "Barney" almond butter because it's amazingly smooth.  
  5. Coconut milk freezes well, but the popsicles will soften if left out of freezer for a short amount of time.  
  6. Popsicles are best completely frozen.
  7. Chocolate chips can be used, but coconut oil is essential to make the melted chocolate smooth enough to drizzle or dip.
  8. Popsicles are 100% vegan if coconut oil is used in place of butter and if Vegan chocolate is used.  Trader Joes carries vegan chocolate chips.
  9. If popsicle molds are not available or if you don't want to purchase some, just use small paper cups.  Partially freeze the mixture before putting in a popsicle stick.  After the popsicle is completely frozen, just tear away the paper cut.
