Homemade Dairy-Free Fudge Pops (Paleo, Keto, Low Carb)
Chocolate fudge pops – you are my favorite and always will be. The simple trick that makes this dairy-free ice cream tastes creamy rich is to use dairy-free coffee creamer!
It makes these Paleo fudge popsicles ultra smooth and gives it that intense chocolate flavor and a beautiful creamy mouth feel.
Many of you know how much I adore dark chocolate sweets. If you browse my dessert archive, you’ll see that more than 50% of the time I’ll write a chocolate flavored sweets than any other kind. I also love making my own sweets at home because I can control the type and the amount of sweetener and the quality of the chocolates.
Good Quality Cacao Powder and Dairy-Free Creamer Are The Key
A good quality of cacao powder has a rich chocolate aroma. The flavor is intense and you can smell it the moment you open the bag. I like to use Navita’s cacao powder. It’s unsweetened.
I also found that using dairy-free half-and-half is a great way to make dairy-free fudge pops. Quite often, I feel that coconut milk cream makes my fudge taste too coconut tasting so a dairy-free coffee creamer that has a combination of almond and coconut milk gives just the right amount of creaminess without being too overpowering.

Would you be able to use regular half and half ? Would it mess with the fudge bars?
HI Maudie, you can definitely use regular half-and-half. It will taste extra milky and creamy. Thank you!

few friends ans additionally sharing in delicious.

These are so perfect for summertime chocolate cravings, and I’m excited to try monk fruit as a sweetener as well!

Delicious!! These would be a huge hit for me to make my kids. My daughter is coming home next week from abroad and is dairy-free. Thank you!
This looks so incredibly creamy and yummy! Such a perfect treat and I can’t wait to try it with the chocolate sauce.
Hello,
This looks amazing!
I’d like to use ice cube trays instead though. Do you think that 3 ice cubes is about the size equivalent to the popsicle?
Thanks for all the great recipes!
Hi Kelly! I guess 3 ice cube trays should cover the quantity you need. Let me know how it goes!
These are amazing!! I just made them and they are a perfect paleo treat. I am gluten intolerant, and can no longer eat soy and am always trying to find a chocolate treat and this delivers! Thank you!
I just ordered this mold using your link😘, and will have it tomorrow! Yay, just in time for the weekend.

Of course! Perfect for summer!
