Fudgesicles (WFPB, Vegan, Low-Fat)
You'd never guess there are fruits and a vegetable in these creamy, chocolately popsicles!
Servings 6 popsicles
Ingredients
- 1 sweet potato
- 1 ripe banana (fresh or frozen)
- 1/4 cup cocoa or cacao powder
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 5 dates (or any sweetener of choice)
- Optional: peanut butter, coconut, mint extract, frozen cherries, or anything else you like in chocolate, if desired
Instructions
- Bake the sweet potato by cooking it in the microwave for about 5 minutes. Let cool. You can also bake it in the crock pot on high for 3 hours, which creates an even sweeter, carmelized flavor. I bake a few for lunch, and just save one for fudgesicles.
- Cut open the baked sweet potato, and measure out 1 cup of mashed sweet potato.
- Blend 1 cup of mashed sweet potato with remaining ingredients. Taste, and add additional sweetener if desired. You could also add peanut butter, frozen cherries, add mint extract, vanilla, coconut, nuts, you name it!
- Pour into popsicle molds and freeze until firm. When ready to eat, let them sit on the counter for about 10 minutes for optimum creamy texture.
