Coffee Fudge Popsicles
If you need me, I’ll just be over here eating these creamy, decadent, dairy-free Coffee Fudge Popsicles all summer long.
OH. MY. GOODNESS. These popsicles taste like a combination of cold brew coffee, almond joy candies, and fudgesicle bars—and as if they weren’t already delicious enough, they’re dipped in the easiest 2-minute, 2-ingredient magic shell (also vegan).
Andddd since they’re made with with a coconut milk and banana base, sweetened with maple syrup, and loaded with coffee, they’re pretty much a breakfast food (at least in my book). So yes, I have been eating popsicles for breakfast all week—and you should, too!! :)
Coffee Fudge Popsicles
Makes about 12 small popsicles
Ingredients
For the popsicles:
1 can full fat coconut milk
1/4 cup smooth, unsalted cashew butter
3 bananas, slices
1/2 cup strong cold brew
1/4 cup cacao or cocoa powder
2 tsp espresso powder
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup maple syrup
pinch of sea salt
For the magic shell:
1 cup vegan dark chocolate chips
2 tbsp coconut oil
sliced almonds, shredded coconut, and sea salt (optional)
To make:
In a blender, combine the coconut milk, cashew butter, bananas, cold brew, cocoa powder, espresso powder, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and salt. Blend on high until super smooth and completely combined.
Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and freeze until completely solid (about 4 hours).
To make the magic shell, add the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring well between each increment, until the magic shell is completely melted, smooth, and shiny. Let cool to room temperature before dipping the popsicles (tip: the magic shell will stay liquid at room temperature for several hours, but if it hardens, just pop it back in the microwave for another 15 seconds, then stir well).
When the popsicles are solid, gently remove them from the molds. Dip or drizzle them with magic shell, place them on a sheet of wax paper to prevent sticking, then sprinkle them right away with sliced almonds, shredded coconut and sea salt if desired (the magic shell hardens very quickly!). Serve immediately, and enjoy!!
Note: Feel free if you want to freeze the popsicles for later after dipping in magic shell! If you’ll be storing them in the freezer for a while, I recommend thawing them at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before eating.
