    • 📖 Recipe

    The warmer seasons are officially here, and although the first days of it have been relatively mild, I know it's about to get very hot soon.

    Although I can eat ice cream any time of year, obviously, to beat the heat, now is the best time of year to eat it.

    I have lots of low-carb frozen dessert recipes - there's even one for ice cream bars.

    But, I thought it would be fun to try making some no sugar added fudge pops that would be safe for those following a keto, paleo, or dairy-free diet.

    💛  Why you'll love it

    The ingredients in my fudgesicles no sugar added recipe will yield about ten treats. So, if you have a summer birthday party coming up, it's the perfect healthy dessert for those chocolate lovers in your life!

    Your guests might not know (or frankly even care) that these sugar-free fudge bars are actually quite nutritious, containing an impressive amount of iron from the baking chocolate and cacao powder.

    You will know - and everyone will be able to taste - the classic fudge pop flavors. It has a delicious chocolate taste without the added carbs.

    📋 Ingredients

    This is one of my favorite sugar-free recipes! I used only simple ingredients in these frozen ice pops. Here's my ingredients list:

    Coconut cream

    This is what makes every sugar-free fudge bar taste so creamy. It also gives them a boost of healthy fats too.

    Almond milk

    Use unsweetened plain almond milk in this frozen treat recipe.

    Chocolate

    Use both cocoa powder and unsweetened baking chocolate in these sugar-free fudge bars.

    Sweetener

    Instead of sugar, use both monk fruit liquid sweetener and some powdered erythritol.

    Using these sugar alternatives means this chocolate dessert can be enjoyed guilt-free anytime.

    Vanilla extract

    The real vanilla extract gives these keto fudge bars so much flavor that they will become your new favorite frozen treat.

    Please note: Check out the recipe card at the bottom for a full list of ingredients used to make this low-carb recipe.

    💭 Tips

    • Wait before you add the stirring sticks. Allow the fudgesicles to freeze for about 30 minutes before placing the sticks in them. This helps position the sticks in the right spot without them sinking to the bottom.
    • Let them thaw a bit. It's best to allow the fudgesicles to thaw slightly before trying to remove them from the molds. 
    • Use warm water. You can dip them in warm water for a short time to speed things up.

    🔪 Instructions

    The first thing you'll need is coconut cream! My recipe calls for about 13.5 ounces, which is equivalent to about one can.

    Combine cream, milk, and cacao

    Pour a can of coconut cream into a medium saucepan. Don't worry if it looks clumpy. This is just the natural settling of the cream. You're about to mix it anyway.

    Add the almond milk and cacao powder to the coconut cream.

    Cocoa powder will work but it is more processed. That's why I recommend cacao because it retains its nutritional value.

    Keep in mind that I prefer to make my own almond milk. Store-purchased almond milk contains very few almonds. In fact, it's mostly just water with synthetic vitamins added.

    You can use another alternative milk like cashew. Or, if you love a rich, coconutty taste, you can use coconut milk.

    Heat ingredients

    Heat the coconut cream, alternative milk, and cacao powder over medium heat until hot while whisking occasionally.

    Don't wait until the ingredients start bubbling because some of the nutritional value gets lost when this occurs.

    Add chocolate

    Next, add some unsweetened baking chocolate. This no-added sugar baking chocolate is a staple of many of my desserts.

    Along with it and the natural sugar substitute, this is how I keep my desserts, like these sugar-free fudge pops, low-carb.

    Keep whisking until the chocolate is melted! I usually find it only takes a couple of minutes or so until the chocolate has a nice liquid consistency.

    Stir in sweetener

    Next, remove the saucepan from the heat. Add in the sweetener drops. I prefer liquid vanilla stevia as it's readily available on Amazon or in my local market.

    Some people prefer Monk Fruit extract as it tends to have a more pleasing taste. For extra sweetness, you can also add powdered erythritol or allulose.

    Pour in molds

    Now you're ready to pour the mixture into molds. Don't have popsicle molds? You can order them on Amazon right here. The popsicle molds include a brush for easy clean-up.

    Freeze sugar-free fudge pops

    After you're done placing the mix in the molds, place them in the freezer for a half hour. Then, add the popsicle sticks into the partially frozen mixture and place the molds back in the freezer until they're frozen completely.

    Finally, after they are frozen, take them out and allow them to thaw for a little while. I find that about five minutes or so is perfect. But, you can speed it up by placing the molds in some warm water.

    🍽️ Serving suggestions

    These taste just like the original fudge pops, but they are low-carb. If you are eating them on a hot day, then pour yourself a keto iced coffee to go along with them.

    This frozen keto fudge treat will also taste incredible with a scoop of keto vanilla ice cream or some sugar-free strawberry ice pops.

    🙋 FAQs

    Before we get to the printable recipe card, here are some questions people often ask about how to make it.

    Can I use erythritol instead of the liquid sweetener?

    Any sweetener you prefer can be used for the keto fudge pops. I just find erythritol can crystallize if too much is used.

    How do I make these keto fudge pops taste sweeter?

    The taste of these keto pops resembles dark chocolate. If you are looking for a less intense chocolate taste, you'd need to up the sweetener and or cut back on the chocolate.

    How long will they last in the freezer?

    They will stay fresh in the freezer for up to 6 months.

      Wanting to try these for my grandkids but I don't normally use liquid sweetener (don't like the taste at all). Can I use erythritol instead of the liquid?

      I usually like your recipes but this one was a definite fail for me. They were very bitter, even with extra sweetener, with an unpleasant aftertaste.
