Toasted Coconut Fudgsicles Recipe (2024)

These Toasted Coconut Fudgsicles are always gone in a flash whenever I whip them up.

Hi Everyone, Nicky here, calling in fromKitchen Sanctuarywith a super-simple fudgsicle recipe.

My kids can’t get enough of these things, and I always LOVE getting them involved with the decorating process.

And hey – it helps that they’re utterly delicious too!

These two-ingredient fudgsicles have a rich and creamy taste that comes from the coconut milk but they retain a sweet kick thanks to the hot chocolate powder that’s mixed in. When paired together, they’re a total tour-de-force. Seriously, I struggle to keep these things in the freezer for more than a couple of days – you’ve been warned!

You might be wondering why these aren’t more complicated as most fudgsicles include honey, sugar, Greek yogurt, and other ingredients.

But honestly, you simply don’t need them here.

By using hot chocolate powder instead of cocoa, there’s no need to offset any bitterness. It’s also far richer, creamier, and sweeter than alternative ingredients, meaning you won’t need to bulk out your bars with sweeteners.

If you have a sweet tooth, you can add a small amount of honey and vanilla extract to taste.

I promise I won’t judge!

I suggest using a sturdy mold like the Norpro Ice Pop Mold to bring these fudgsicles to life. They give you that iconic popsicle shape and allow you to use basic wooden sticks instead of plastic popsicle sticks (which I always lose behind the sofa or somewhere in the garden!).

Also, I tend to sprinkle coconut on the popsicles right after they’re frozen as it sticks more easily. If you’d rather have a subtle crunch in your bars, you can add the coconut before pouring your mixture into the molds.

Anything goes!

Whether you’re on the hunt for a new summertime treat or want to whip up a mid-week dessert without any hassle, these Toasted Coconut Fudgsicles have got you covered.

• They’re the perfect treat for summer (or any time of year for that matter!)

Ingredients

Recipe Tips and Tricks

• If you’re having trouble releasing your fudgsicles, gently wiggle the sticks as you’re running the molds under hot water. If you still have trouble, gently wedge a (blunt!) knife into the mold and pop your fudgsicles out.
• Make sure you mix your coconut milk and hot chocolate well before pouring anything into a mold. This removes all lumps and gives your bars a perfectly smooth consistency.
• Always use high-quality hot chocolate powder for best results. It will usually give your fudgsicles a richer flavor.
• If you can afford to wait, it’s best to put your sticks in around 2 hours after putting your molds in the freezer. This allows them to freeze right in the center of each fudgsicle.

Variations and Substitutions

• Add chocolate chips to your mix after blending for a hint of texture and a chocolatey bite.
• I sometimes like blending peanut butter into the fudgsicle mix for an earthier taste. You need to use a smooth option and make sure everything is completely blended to avoid frozen clumps of peanut butter though!
• If you’re looking to cut a few calories, you can use light coconut milk. Just be aware that this removes a hint of creaminess.

Storage Instructions

These bars need to be kept in the freezer until you’re ready to eat them. I advise keeping them in the molds (or an airtight box) to prevent freezer burn.

Can I Freeze?

Yup – absolutely. In fact, you need to freeze them! They should stay safe in the freezer for several weeks until you’re ready to eat them.
