Asher is back in school, but we've still had record hot days around here so it's nice to have a cool treat waiting for him after school. We're chocolate lovers in this family so these easy dairy free fudgesicles don't last long when they're in the freezer!
With only 6 simple ingredients, they're a breeze to whip up and my boys even love to help me make them. I used to make a version of these fudgesicles with egg yolks to make them creamy, but with all the requests for nut free and egg free recipe requests, I seized the opportunity and tried out an egg free, dairy free AND nut free fudge pop!
This recipe ended up being super simple to make and it even gets in some gelatin, which you all know I love! You can read more about the benefits of gelatin HERE. Unflavored gelatin powder can often times stand in for eggs, and it works especially well in frozen treats. The gelatin proteins don't fully freeze, so it keeps dairy-free frozen treats from getting icy. They are creamy and super chocolatey.
Vital Proteins unflavored gelatin powder is my favorite because I've found it to have no taste, flavor, or smell. It has also given me the most consistent results when I make things like marshmallows, my frostings from Celebrations, or gummies. Their collagen protein is a pasture-raised, grass-fed bovine gelatin powder. You all know how important 100% grass-fed is to me. Gelatin offers comprehensive benefits for health, fitness, and beauty and I use it to promote digestive health. The gelatin (green canister) can be mixed into both hot and cold liquids, but will gel if blended in cold.
A quick note about popsicle molds– I usually use plastic molds as they popsicles are pretty easy to get out of the mold (sometimes I run them under warm-water first). If you do want plastic molds, I would suggest looking for BPA-free brand like the ones on my shop page. I've also heard about stainless steel molds which you can find here, but I can't vouch for how easily your popsicle will come out as I haven't tried them yet!

Made these the other day. They were amazing! So delicious and ‘real’ tasting. No yucky artificial flavors and not gross and overly sweet like store bought. I don’t have the vital proteins gelatin but they turned out great with regular unflavored gelatin anyway. Thanks for this…I’m sure these treats will be a mainstay in our summer dessert rotation!

How many pops does this recipe make ?
Robin
I do t have vital proteins gelatin powder. Would their collagen powder in the blue canister work?
Laura Mace
These are so delicious and creamy!! A regular for us.
Angel
Any chance they’d turn out just as great with honey? Can’t get my hands on maple syrup.
Danielle
I haven’t tried but that should work.
Courtney
These were a hit with everyone in the family. Thank you! They’ll be on repeat this summer 🙂

If I want to add eggs like you did originally instead of the gelatin, can you tell me if just yolks, how many?
Danielle
Hi Angela! Unfortunately, a simple 1:1 swap of gelatin for eggs wouldn’t work as the other ingredients have to be adjusted as well. I hope you give this recipe a try!
