No, no wait.
Really, these need to be called The Best Damn Chocolate Fudge Popsicles.
Because they are.
And they only just happen to be vegan. I promise you though, these are so freaking good. Creamy, fudgey and extra chocolatey. Just the way they should be.
When I was younger my mom would buy those fudge popsicles from the store that were like sixty calories and fat free. Believe it or not, I totally thought those things were awesome. I think I just liked that they were cold and had a chocolate flavor.
I have not had one of those for a while, and these days I never buy any “diet” products, because um eew. I mean, whole food all they way if you ask me. Anyway, I was thinking about those pops a week or two ago. Thinking about how when I go to Florida in June those would be really awesome because Florida in June is really hot… Then I looked outside and started feeling kind of cold thinking about popsicles as I watched the snow fall. Today, well, I am currently blasting my little space heater because I am STILL cold and because it is STILL snowing AND because I made popsicles that scream from the freezer “EAT ME….even though is it snowing outside…. in the middle of MAY”.
But it’s ok because in my head, where I can use my imagination, things are all warm and sunny. So it’s all good, I am happy and I have popsicles.
And it’s Friday.
Life is definitely good… especially on a Friday.
Oh, did you catch the part where I said I am going to Florida in June? I am, I am! And I am so excited, just me and my grandma for a week of shopping, cheese and crackers, and sunshine. Cannot wait.
These popsicles though? Yes, they are vegan and yes, they are the easiest things ever AND you do not even have to have popsicles molds make them. You can use paper Dixie cups and then just peel the paper away.
Now, when you read the ingredients it might make you a little scared. I mean dates? Cashews? Kind of a weird mix, but I promise all you taste is chocolate, and the texture is creamy, silky and honestly incredible. I have to say, these totally shocked me. All those years of eating icy, bland fudge pops when I could have been eating these HEALTHY (YUP!) fudge pops? What a waste.
Seriously, if there is one thing you do this weekend, it’s got to be to make these. You can do it.
Nutritional information is only an estimate. The accuracy of the nutritional information for any recipe on this site is not guaranteed.
You NEED to do it.
I have never tried dates, even though my husband and sons all like them. That means I have them in the pantry, so I must make these. If they go with chocolate and cashews, they must be good.
Oh, I’m in southwest Florida and it was 97 degrees today. Definitely warm enough for fudgscicles.
Hope you love these!!! Thanks Heather!
this is the 2nd post I’ve seen on fudgsicles in 2 days. I’m taking it as a sign. must. make. now!
Yup! Must make!
I just want one right now!!! Despite the fact that I am shivering in my office and it’s winter outside right now!
I guess I have a few months to hunt down a popsicle (or ice block as they are called here) mold so that I will be ready for summer 🙂
Oh man, enjoy your winter if you can!
Thanks!
Looks awesome! Will the recipe work without cashews? Or is there a substitute? My son is allergic to nuts.
Thanks! Unfortunately, the nuts are a must. They are the foundation of the recipe. So sorry!
Thanks Tieghan, I’ll make another one of your awesome chocolate recipes for him!
I have the same issue. Could I use roasted salted soy beans instead?
Hey Caryn, I do not think that would work. You need a creamy nut to get that creamy base. Can you not eat cashews? Can you eat other nuts?
We have severe tree nut and peanut allergies in the family.
Oh man, I am sorry. I do not think this will work with out nuts though. Sorry!
These look divine!! Especially the delish chocolate shell! 🙂 Pinned!
Thanks Jocelyn!
I only have unsalted cashews on hand, would they still work?
Yup! Just add a pinch of slat. Hope you love these!
I am soooo excited to make these Tieghan!! Just last week I made some chocolate covered ice cream bars using soaked cashews as a base and they are incredible. I know your fudgesicles will be a staple in my home. Made your dark chocolate avocado mousse last night…always a winner. Thanks for your hard work and beautiful photographs.
Thanks Kristen!!! Hope you love these!
I made these for my 2 year old who can’t have sugar. We omitted the chocolate dip for that reason, but even without they were unbelievably good! I’ve been dreaming about eating one all day! Another added bonus is that these don’t melt, which is so key for toddlers. I love your blog!

The temperatures here seem to get higher with every passing day! Thank goodness for this delicious bomb of a fudgesicle! <3
This seriously looks like fun! I love the popsicle decor with the chocolate chips in the background!
I love everything about these popsicles! Delish! Pinned
Thanks you so much, Heather! Hope you guys are having a great weekend!!
These are gorgeous! And I love making creamy vegan treats with cashews! Yum!
Thanks Melissa!

Vegan or not, I LOVE these. So simple!
Thanks Katrina!
