These lightly sweetened dairy-free Fudgsicles were a major hit with my chocolate loving teenage sons, and I still make them for my husband.
Fudgsicle Recipe
I love homemade Fudgsicles because, with just 5 ingredients, they’re super easy to make and purely sweetened.
This low-carb popsicle recipe is sweetened with only one date for the entire batch. It’s super rich and creamy, and of course, everything tastes better from scratch!

Nutritious Fudgsicles
I have a couple of new and more unusual ingredients in this dairy-free Fudgsicle recipe –vanilla powder and 100% chocolate. Vanilla powder is a fantastic ingredient.

Pure Vanilla
I buy pure vanilla powder and avoid the type that has added sugar or corn starch. Vanilla powder is simply pure vanilla bean that’s excavated from the pod –it’s amazingly fragrant!
Keto Popsicles
The chocolate I use in the recipe above is basically a bar of unsweetened baking chocolate. I use this in order to control the amount of sugar (of any sort, natural or otherwise) that I’m consuming.
Candida Diet
Before there was keto there was the candida diet.
The boys and I followed the candida diet when they were little. We really needed to be on it as one of the boys, and I had pretty bad candida overgrowth in our systems.
Family Friendly Candida Diet Recipes
That was almost two decades ago. Now we’re all healthy enough to eat anything we want –well, not gluten or grains. Those are big no no’s for me as I cannot digest them, and so don’t even indulge occasionally.
For those of you who cannot enjoy these Fudgsicles, here are some of my family friendly candida recipes for dessert:
Fudgy
For those with fewer dietary restrictions, my homemade super fudgy Fudgsicles really hit the spot all year long.
Chocolate Popsicle
This rich, fudgy frozen treat also has a bit of stevia in it, which you can likely omit entirely or replace with some other sweetener of your choice.

This Fudgsicle recipe is an oldie but goodie from the archives. I first shared it in 2014.

Bobbie Andrews says
Hello! I’m wondering if you can use vanilla extract instead of the powder. Why the powder over an extract? Can’t wait to try. Thank you!
Elana says
Bobbie, I haven’t tried that so not sure. I like the powder as it has a different, and more distinctive flavor :-)
Megan says
Did you try with vanilla extract?

Hey I can’t eat dates due to the FODMAP eat plan. Could I make a substitution? They sound great!!!
Elana says
Patricia, thanks for your comment. I haven’t tried that so not sure. If you experiment I hope you’ll LMK what works :-)

Yep I use Monk/erythritol, stevia glycerite, stevia extract.
Swerve.

Doreen says
Hi Elana. Do you melt your baking chocolate before blending in the Vitamix? Thank you for all of your delicious recipes.
Elana says
Doreen, the vitamix is so powerful that there is no need to :-)
Joyce says

Heather says
These are incredible! I had a bar of dark chocolate with cherries on hand and took the suggestion of another reader to melt the chocolate. I don’t have a Vitamin but used a Ninja and thought that melting the chocolate would help. My daughter isn’t officially on a Paleo diet but has a terrible sweet tooth that I’m trying to curb. As a compromise so that she’ll actually eat them, I used three dates to sweeten them up a bit and no stevia. Delicious!
Elana says
Thanks Heather! I’m so glad that your daughter enjoyed these and that they’re incredible! We love them too :-)
