Name: Avocado Fudgesicles
Ingredients: 6 dates (pits removed); 3/4 cup water; 2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted; 1/2 cup cocoa powder; 3 tablespoons maple syrup; 1 cup canned coconut milk (or other non-dairy milk); 1/4 teaspoon sea salt; 1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)

1 cup canned coconut milk (or other non-dairy milk)

Avocado Fudgesicles

Soak the dates for about 30 minutes in the 3/4 cup water until they soften a bit (to make them easier to blend).

Then add in the remaining ingredients and blend!

Amazingly, this can be eaten as a delicious pudding at this stage! Or, if you want to go all the way and make them into fudgesicles, you can spoon it into your popsicle molds.

The next day--they are ready to be enjoyed! It helps to run the molds under hot water--the fudgesicles will come out smoother.

The Force is strong with these avocado pops.
