There is nothing like an ice pop on a hot day. Fudgesicles have always been one of my favorites. They are more refreshing than ice cream but more satisfying that a regular ice pop. They are the perfect combination of the two. These Mocha Fudgesicles take that to the next level. A hint of coffee mixed with chocolate and a texture that stays biteable even after a week in the freezer. Perfection.
These are a bit icier than the store bought fudgesicles but I enjoyed the iciness. I remember having ice milk as a child (instead of ice cream) and I loved the icy bits.
Makes 4-8 ice pops depending on the size of your molds. This is also amazing blended with ice like a frappuccino. So if you have any leftover mix just throw some ice into the blender and then drink it. Or if you are just too impatient for the ice pops to freeze. I like to go halvies and do both.

I understand why you use your sweetener blend for baking but for fudge pops could just erythritol be used? And can the zanthum gum be omitted? I can’t find it.
Taryn says
You can use erythritol but you might get a cooling effect. The xanthan gum helps they not to separate before they freeze. You can omit it if you prefer.
Miki says
Would you be able to use this for ice cream instead of fudge pops. Replace the gum with glycerine?
Taryn says
Yes, I think you may also need additional cream for the right consistency. I'd try 1.5 cups cream with .5 cup almond milk and 1 cup coffee. I have a coffee ice cream you can reference https://joyfilledeats.com/coffee-ice-cream/
Taryn says
Sure! If you aren't counting carbs you could use part half and half too. I know heavy cream can get expensive.

Yum these look so so good! If I wanted to make them more creamy could I use more heavy cream and less of the almond milk?
