These raw vegan fudge pops are similar to a chocolate avocado smoothie or pudding, in that the avocado is completely undetectable. It flies under the radar of your taste buds and all you taste is chocolatey deliciousness. They are easy to whip up and magical once frozen. With warmer weather gracing us, there has never been a better time to make these pops. Perfect for a backyard barbecue, movie night, or children’s birthday party!
The last thing you want to do is use unripe avocados to make these fudge pops. Not only will your pops not be creamy, but they will also have a slightly bitter flavor, which you do not want from a dessert. Make sure your avocados are ripe and quite soft to the touch, but you don’t want them overripe either. Blend the avocados with the rest of the ingredients until completely smooth. Once the mixture is smooth, you can poor it into the popsicle mold. Cover the mold with the lid and insert the popsicle sticks, or you can use the sticks that come with the mold if you have that type of mold.
If you are not the biggest avocado fan and want to start eating more of them, this is a great entry point because you cannot taste it. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, avocados work to benefit heart health by lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure. They also contain a variety of B vitamins, including thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), and niacin (B3), all of which help the body convert food into energy. Niacin, specifically, can fight inflammation and protect arterial health by improving triglyceride and cholesterol levels.
