Vegan Fudgesicles
Happy Summer! I know it was yesterday. I’m a day behind… been so busy working on my latest screenplay. Yes, when I’m not cooking, creating recipes, furthering my plant-based nutrition education and blogging, I’m writing. It’s a labor of love, as is this blog.
In celebration of Summer, I decided to perfect the ultimate vegan treat. I’ve tried a few different recipes for fudgesicles… finally have a keeper! These ‘sicles are creamy, chocolatey, not too sweet and not too gooey… just right. No bananas… a lot of the recipes that I’ve looked at and tried include bananas. For me, it just doesn’t work. I like to taste the chocolatey goodness without the banana flavor. That’s just my preference.
Here is the simple recipe!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup raw cashews
- 1¼ cup unsweetened soy milk or other non-dairy milk
- 8 medjool dates, pits removed
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 3 TBS non-alkalized cocoa powder
Directions:
- Place all ingredients into a high-powered blender and blend until smooth.
- Pour into ice cream molds, per the mold directions.
- Freeze overnight.
- Unmold by holding under warm water until the fudgesicle slides out easily.
Makes 4 fudgesicles. Enjoy!
Healthy trails,

Those look fabulous. I get the no banana thing. Hubby doesn't prefer the frozen desserts with banana either. I will have to try this one on him!
And your yard looks beautiful, by the way. 🙂
Thanks! Let me know how he likes them 🙂
I wonder if this would work with avocados. Trying to get away from cashews.
Julie, it just might! Let me know how it works if you try it! 🙂
Yum! These look so tasty- and so simple! I have a popsicle mould on my wishlist but I think I'm going to go ahead and order one right now 😉
That's great, Emma! Hope you enjoy them as much as we do! 🙂
Helyn, bought a popsicle tray for cheap about a year ago. Today it was used for a tastesation! Pitting the dates was a bit more work and sticky fingers. I did a short soak on the dates and cashews and used ground vanilla bean. (My new addiction) and coconut milk. Had a small amount left over so I froze it and tried it. Yummy!! Looking forward to enjoying the first one tomorrow when it is 99 degrees. I made 8 and I'm wondering if I will eat them all.. I am single and they can't go to waste. :). Thank you for a super easy recipe that taste rich and like I must have taken longer to prepare. Keep em coming. 🙂
You're welcome. Enjoy!!
Thanks for this lovely recipe! Made them using sweetened almond milk, and to compensate for that, I used 4 Medjool dates, instead of 8 – my husband and I loved them! Can't wait to make them again!! 🙂
You're welcome Elizabeth! So happy you enjoyed them 🙂
