I’ve played around with paleo ice cream recipes many times and as delicious as they are, they just don’t cut it sometimes. If I’m having ice cream, I like a small ratio of ice cream to a huge ratio of mix ins. I want cookies, candy, potato chips, pretzels, caramel, sprinkles, all of it.
None of which is paleo. At all. Not even a little bit.
But I’ve found that with popsicles, I’m a little more forgiving. Especially if they are fudge pops. Because I love a fudge pop. I’ve never met a fudge pop that I didn’t immediately fall in love with.
These Paleo Fudge Pops will change your life. They are creamy and rich and you can feel good about eating them since they are made from avocado, banana, and unsweetened cocoa powder. All of which is good for you.
Healthy fats from the avocado, lots of good stuff in the bananas, and antioxidants from the cocoa powder. I used a tiny bit of honey to sweeten the fudge pops but if you want, you can eliminate it completely or just add honey to taste.
They are absolutely delicious and I can even trick my 3 year old into eating one. And he normally won’t touch an avocado for anything.
I’ve found that these keep really well, too. With most paleo ice cream, you have to eat it within a few days or it becomes rock hard in the freezer. These stayed creamy for several weeks.
Which is good, because we’ve got a lot of summer left.

These look delicious! Fudgesicles used to be my LIFE as a little kid!
My kids won’t touch avocado, either. Unless, maybe it’s disguised with chocolate. And on a stick!
These are genius Amanda! Also I’m totally the same way – I always have to have a ton of stuff in my ice cream plus chocolate and caramel syrup :) Fudgicles are perfect just the way they are though! I love that these are made with an avocado – so smart!!
Just put a batch of these into the freezer…it’s going to be a long 4 hour wait! My popsicle form looks the same size as yours, but I only got 6 popsicles, not 12. I took a little taste before I froze it and it’s great…I’d even try chilling it and eating it as a pudding.
oooo pudding is a great idea!
OMG I can’t wait to have one when I’m done with Whole30. I love fudge pops!
