Dairy-Free Fudgesicles
Fudgesicles have been a favorite of mine since childhood. They were always at the top of my list when an ice cream truck drove by! These are a staple around my house, so I decided to play around in the kitchen to give these chocolatey treats a dairy-free, healthy twist. It was NOT as easy as I had anticipated!!
In fact, it took me multiple recipes to finally find the one that was the most authentic in flavor, consistency and nostalgia! Since this recipe was perfected, my family has made it multiple times. Even the neighborhood kids come around asking for them!
Intimated by homemade popsicles? Don't be! This recipe has been the simplest of them all! Scroll down - you'll see! I hope you enjoy these homemade Dairy-Free Fudgesicles as much as I do!
