Summertime = popsicle time! My mom would make homemade popsicles for us all the time. I can still remember enjoying those icy-cold orange juice pops, as they melted down our hands. Now I get to make them for my kids. A few of our faves are these creamy strawberry popsicles and these peach berry yogurt popsicles. Both dairy free and both totally refreshing on a hot summer day!
Being that it was over 100 degrees outside almost everyday this week, I was more than excited to have these fudgsicles on hand. The creamiest dairy free popsicles I’ve ever sunk my teeth into. Made with soaked cashews, coconut milk and lots-o-chocolate, you just can’t go wrong. They are even more decadent than the ones I remember from my childhood.
Using my trusty popsicle molds, these come out beautiful every time. Just think of these as the “grown-up” version of fudgsicles, that just happen to be dairy free!
- 3/4 cups raw cashews, soaked
- 1/2 cup dairy free dark chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups full-fat coconut milk, shaken
- 3 tablespoons cane sugar
- 2 tablespoons high quality cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch sea salt
- Soak raw cashews 3-4 hours or overnight in refrigerator. Drain and set aside.
- In microwave-safe bowl, place chocolate chips and microwave on high 30 seconds. Stir and microwave additional 15 seconds. Stir until smooth. Let cool to room temp.
- In high powered blender or food processor, add soaked cashews, coconut milk {mixture of coconut cream and coconut water}, cane sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt. Blend on high 1-2 minutes, until creamy.
- Add melted chocolate chips to cashew mixture. Continue to blend until smooth.
- Pour into popsicle molds. Insert popsicle sticks into mold and place in freezer to completely set, 3-4 hours or overnight.
- To remove popsicles, run under water for 10-15 seconds. Release popsicles from mold and enjoy!
These look so yummy and refreshing! Can’t wait to try them out on my kiddos this summer!

Popsicles are the best summer treat and even more so when there’s chocolate involved!
My kids are going to LOVE these! They look super creamy.
These look delicious! I bet the cashews make them so creamy. Beautiful photo too!
Thank you!
