How to fill the popsicle molds?

Since this mixture is a little bit on the thicker side, you can use a measuring cup with a pour spout, a piping bag, or a ziplock bag with the tip cut off to fill up the molds.

You can also place the molds on top of a sheet pan before freezing to ensure they don’t spill when you are transporting them.

Frequently asked questions – FAQ

How to store these chocolate popsicles?

They can be stored in their mold for up to a week. After that, I strongly recommend pulling them out of their mol wrapping them in wax paper and freezing them in an air-tight container. They will last for up to 2 months this way.

Can I make dairy-free fudgesicles with this recipe?

Yes, you can, use almond milk, unsweetened coconut milk soy milk, coconut cream or oat milk, and dairy-free chocolate.

What kind of popsicle mold should I use?

I used plastic molds but silicone molds will also work for this recipe. To make cool treats for your little ones, you can use different shape molds.

    So rich and creamy! This filled 4 small molds for me. I used gelatin instead of cornstarch (half as much).

    Soo fudgy. I used pure gelatin instead of cornstarch because I didn’t have any cornstarch (1/2 tbsp)

    Can you tell me why you need semi sweet chocolate chips if you’re already adding cocoa powder?

      For texture. Both add the same flavor, but without the chocolate chips it would just be powder mixed with milk. The melted chocolate chips are what make it fudgy.

      They were easy to make and came out well, but they were a bit too intense for me. I doubled the recipe to get 6 popsicles.

        Thanks for trying them out! I’m glad they came out well, but I totally get that they can be a bit intense. You could try adjusting the sweetness or adding a little more milk next time to tone it down to your taste. Enjoy! 😊
