These rich, chocolaty, dairy-free popsicles are sure to slay even the most stubborn chocolate craving. They take just twenty minutes to whip up, but they’re insanely delicious and so healthy: one popsicle covers almost a quarter of your daily magnesium and potassium needs!
They are paleo, dairy-free and made with whole food ingredients. I call these ketogenic treats frozen fat bombs because almost 90% calories come from healthy fats!
I remember taking the photo of these popsicles for my new cookbook almost a year ago. It was so much fun! Originally, they were supposed to be plain without any chocolate crust but I knew they needed something extra and the chocolate drizzle did just that!
Big thanks to a fellow blogger and my friend Katrin of Sugar-Free Londoner for reviewing my new Beginner's KetoDiet Cookbook and for sharing one of the many low-carb & keto recipes. Katrin even made a quick video recipe to show you how easy it is to make this guilt-free treat!
Recipe Tips & Substitutions
Want to make these popsicles extra nutritious? Simply substitute 1 large (200 g/ 7.1 oz) avocado for 1/2 can (200 ml) coconut milk and blend it with the cooled fudgesicle mixture before pouring it into the popsicle molds.
Avocado, which is high in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and potassium, pairs perfectly with chocolate. It has a neutral taste so it blends into the fudgesicle mixture seamlessly. You won’t even know it’s there, even if you’re a picky eater!

Ingredients (makes 8 popsicles)
Fudgesicles :
Chocolate drizzle:
Instructions
- Add the coconut milk to a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Remove from the heat, add the unsweetened chocolate, and let it melt. Add the cocoa powder, erythritol, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and cayenne pepper. Mix until well combined. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- When cool, taste and stir in liquid stevia if you prefer more sweetness. Pour into popsicle molds (about 1/3 cup/80 ml each). Add popsicle sticks and freeze for 3 to 4 hours.
- When the popsicles are set, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil in a saucepan or a microwave. Let it cool slightly (the drizzle shouldn’t be too hot).
- To easily remove the popsicles from the molds, fill a saucepan as tall as the popsicles with warm (but not hot) water and dip the popsicle molds in for 15 to 20 seconds. Return the popsicles to the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes before drizzling. Optionally, sprinkle each with your preferred topping before the drizzle hardens. Serve immediately, or freeze for up to 6 months.
