Is this Fudgesicle Recipe dessert, post-workout fuel, or your new favorite healthy “sweet” treat? Once you sink your teeth into these chocolate-y 🍫 fudgesicles, you’re going to be hooked! 🪝 My two-ingredient fudgesicles are sugar-free, dairy-free, and loaded with protein and healthy fats. This healthy version has the same signature chewy, dense, creamy texture of a classic fudgesicle, with rich chocolatey flavor.
Why You’ll Love This Fudgesicle Recipe
These chocolatey fudgesicles are the easiest, healthiest frozen dessert and they only use two ingredients. Coconut milk 🥥 provides a creamy, luscious base and it also lends lots of healthy fats (not to mention, rich in iron and vitamin c), while chocolate 🍫 protein powder brings the sugar-free sweet flavor. We’re leveling up with the adult version of a childhood favorite. All the same frozen, chocolate delight of the fudgesicles of our youth, without the sugar crash!
How to Prepare
🥥 First, add the coconut milk and protein powder to a blender and blend until fully combined, about 1 minute.
🫗 Next, pour the mixture into popsicle molds. Add the tops (sticks) onto each mold.
🧊 Then, freeze the fudgesicles overnight.
🍭 To remove the popsicle out of the mold, run the side under some hot water until it loosens up. I like to gently press it up from the bottom.
😋 Finally, enjoy!

Certainly you can make these vegan by using a vegan protein powder.
After the fudgesicles have fully frozen in the freezer (at least 12 hours), remove them from the popsicle mold, lay them on a parchment paper-lined tray, let them defrost for just 1 to 5 minutes, or until some condensation appears, then garnish (sprinkle with coconut flakes, dust with cocoa powder, drizzle with melted chocolate, or grate some dark chocolate on top), and then transfer back to the freezer for at least 15 minutes before enjoying.
These will last in popsicle molds for about 3 weeks or until ice crystals form.
I have yet to try making these with any milk besides coconut milk. If you do experiment, please let us know how it goes in the comments. I recommend a full fat milk to keep these as creamy as possible.
Of course! You can use any flavor of protein powder, but remember that if you don’t use chocolate, it’s no longer a fudgesicle.
