These sugar free fudgesicles are so ridiculously delicious and creamy! You won’t believe they contain no added sugar… and are healthy! These babies are packed with fiber and protein, thanks to the dates and hemp seeds.
Did you know that 3 tablespoons of hemp seeds contain about 10 grams of protein?
And even better… your kids will never suspect there isn’t an ounce of sugar in these healthy fudgesicles. None.
I caught a chest cold and have a sore throat, so I made these Sugar Free Fudgesicles this weekend to soothe my throat. Or at least that’s the excuse I’m going with… 😉
They hit the spot. They are rich and decadent, yet smooth and delicious. Like my favorite pudding pops when I was a kid, just much healthier. I used to pretend to be sick just because I knew my mom would buy me those pudding pops and let me eat more than normal (sorry mom).
As for the popsicle molds, I have these, but you certainly can use whatever you have on hand. Depending on the size of your popsicle molds, you’ll get anywhere between 8-12 paleo fudgesicles.
With summer right around the corner, I can’t wait for warmer temperatures to make their way to Alaska. We’ve had a few days that reached 60 degrees (F), but nothing past that. Granted, us Alaskans like our ice cream, even when it’s -30 F below zero, but I’d much rather enjoy my frozen treats when I have to worry about them actually melting. You know what I mean?!
These Sugar Free Fudgesicles have more of a “milk” chocolate flavor to them vs. a “dark” chocolate flavor. Very similar to what I remember a Wendy’s Frosty tasting like – fudgy and delicious!
All my love,

- 3/4 cup chopped dates
- 3 tablespoons hemp seeds
- 2 1/4 cups canned coconut milk
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or your favorite dairy-free milk)
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 15 drops Nunatural's vanilla stevia (or coconut sugar or maple syrup to taste)
- In a small mixing bowl, submerge the dates in hot water and let them sit for 10 minutes to soften. Drain the water and discard it.
- Place the dates, hemp seeds, and the canned coconut milk in a high speed blender and blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the almond milk, cocoa powder, and Nunatural's vanilla stevia. Mix until well blended.
- Pour into popsicle molds (I have these) and freeze until solid.

Bring on Summer!
I have the exact same molds. They are so easy to use and I love making popsicles. This is definitely going on my list of recipes to try. Thanks for sharing.
Dates are a magical sweetener and I do love hemp seeds! I’m not sure I’ll ever be on board with stevia, but I do like stevia-sweetened recipes better when there’s another sweetener (like these dates) included. I’ll probably try these with coconut sugar when the heat comes. Right now I’m still trying to stay warm most days. 😉
Thanks! xo,
Shirley
Fudgesicles are one of my all time favorite treats… love this vegan version!!
Your recipes never disappoint! I love the addition of hemp seeds to these (one of my favourite summer treats) and finally someone else who loves Aroy-D coconut milk. It’s my favourite brand too.
These fudgesicles look great and will be such a hit in the warming months ahead. And I did not know that about hemp seed, sounds like I need to start including that in my diet pronto!
What a great, healthy snack for both kids and adults! My whole family would love these!
These look so good Megan, I can’t wait to make them this summer!!!
OH YUM! I LOVE fudgesicles, so I’m kinda excited that these are made with healthy ingredients!
So, how awesome are these?? They don’t even look healthy! And I love that you sweetened them with dates. 🙂
These look great! I need to dig out my popsicle molds! 🙂
These are perfect for upcoming warm weather!
You know how sometimes you can just look at a photo and know it tastes just as good if not better than it looks. I’m getting that vibe here. Looks amazinggg!!!
My husband is dairy intolerant but he refused to stop eating ice cream. He LOVES these fudgesicles even more than my children. He asks for these instead of ice cream. The recipe works out perfectly.
Well that is quite a compliment! Thank you, Touwser! I’m very happy he loves them (maybe not more than your children though). LOL! 😉
Curious how much flavor the hemp seeds give these? I’m definitely not a fan of the flavor right now (pregnant) but I really love all the health benefits of them plus I have a really big bag of them to use lol!!!
Hi Mariah! I don’t think it flavors them too much (but I’ve never eaten them with pregnant taste buds!). 😉 The main flavor is definitely cocoa, otherwise my girls wouldn’t be inclined to eat them.
Ooh! I love that these are sweetened with dates.
Ooh, chocolate and dates are so amazing together – this is brilliant! I will be making this!
It’s funny that you mention that these taste like a Wendy’s frosty, because that’s exactly what I thought when I saw them! My family loves those!
I’m pretty excited about trying these for my kids this summer. We usually make a lot of fresh berry popsicles or smoothie pops but this is on my list now.
I love that you said these taste like a Wendy’s Frosty in popsicle form! I used to get those all the time when I was in college, so good!
