With just a few simple steps, you’ll be able to enjoy a refreshing treat that will satisfy your chocolate cravings on hot summer days. So, let’s get started!
How to Make Popsicles:
First, gather all the necessary ingredients. You will need your homemade vegan chocolate pudding, popsicle molds, popsicle sticks, and a freezer. If you don’t have popsicle molds, you can even use paper cups or ice cube trays as a creative alternative.
Next, take your popsicle molds and rinse them with cold water. This will help the popsicles release easily when they are frozen. Once rinsed, set the molds aside, and grab your vegan chocolate pudding.
Using a spoon or a small ladle, carefully pour the chocolate pudding into each popsicle mold. Fill each mold almost to the top, leaving a little bit of space for expansion as the mixture freezes.
After filling the molds, gently tap them on the countertop to remove any air bubbles and ensure that the pudding settles evenly. If necessary, use the back of the spoon to level off the surface of each mold.
Once you’re satisfied with how the molds are filled, it’s time to insert the popsicle sticks. Place a stick in the center of each mold, pushing it about three-fourths of the way down. The pudding will act as a natural adhesive, holding the stick in place.
Now, place the filled molds in the freezer and let them chill for at least 4 to 6 hours, or until fully frozen. Patience is key here, as the longer you allow the popsicles to freeze, the better their texture and flavor will be.
When the waiting time is up, remove the molds from the freezer. To release the popsicles, run the outsides of the molds under warm water for a few seconds. This gentle heat will loosen the frozen treats and make them easier to remove.
Chocolate Pudding Notes:
Admittedly, every once in a while a girl wants chocolate and needs chocolate. Ok, so maybe I don’t need chocolate. However, it is nice to be able to have something sweet with the rest of your family while not feeling like an outcast or outsider because you can’t eat what they are.
Because I can’t eat gluten or refined sugar due to autoimmune illnesses I pretty much have to create everything I eat from scratch. Consequently, both my kids have dairy allergies and, therefore, this recipe is also dairy-free. Making this a vegan-friendly dessert as well.
Coffee tends to heighten the chocolate flavor and it is for this reason that I add it. In any case, you will not be able to taste the coffee flavor or if you are not a coffee drinker simply leave it out. This * symbol stands for optional ingredients.
Ingredient Information:
Please keep in mind that Cassava Flour and Tapioca Flour are not the same things. While they both come from the same root vegetable they are very different. Cassava flour is a substitute ingredient for white flour while Tapioca Flour is a thickening agent used much like you would arrowroot flour or corn starch. However, both these flours are gluten-free.
As for information on Monk Fruit Sweetener read my blog post to understand this ingredient better.
In any case, Amazon carries Unsweetened Coconut Milk, monkfruit sweetener, Lily’s Dark Chocolate (with Stevia), Cocoa or Cacao, pink salt, and Tapioca Flour.
