Raw Chocolate Fudgesicles

serves 4 ~ $.95 per serving

OK, so this is something that was stored in my recipe files from back in the summer (that flew by SO fast!) when it was hot and sticky out. But hey, chocolate, right? It’s still delicious and fun … ! I love chocolate smoothies and pops all year long. I’ve even been known to enjoy a frosty chocolate smoothie in the jacuzzi so as to not freeze my bum off … shh, don’t tell.

fudgesicles

2 bananas, sliced and frozen ($.60)
1/2 cup almond milk ($.40)
2 tablespoons raw cacao powder or cocoa powder
pinch salt
few drops of stevia, if more sweetness is desired

chocolate shell

1/4 cup melted coconut oil ($.80)
1/4 cup raw cacao powder or cocoa powder ($.80)
1/4 cup finely ground coconut palm sugar ($.80)
pinch salt
2 tablespoons chopped pistachios ($.40)

directions

Place all fudgesicle ingredients into blender and puree until very smooth. Add more almond milk or water if needed to facilitate blending.
Pour into popsicle molds and freeze for several hours until fully frozen.
Prepare the chocolate shell coating.
Place all the chocolate shell coating ingredients into a small bowl and stir well until smooth.
Remove the fidgesicles from the freezer and pop them out of their molds.
Dip the fudgescicles into the hard chocolate shell, or drizzle it over them to coat.
Just heating the coconut oil up enough to melt it and not any warmer will yield the best results. If needed, gently remelt the chocolate hard shell.
Add a sprinkle of chopped pistachios or other chopped nut, if desired. Cacao nibs also work well.
Any leftovers can be wrapped and stored in the freezer for a week or so.
