Banana Fudge Popsicles

Creamy Fudgsicles were one of my favorite desserts as a child.  Unfortunately, they contain 17 ingredients, including high fructose corn syrup, Polysorbate 80, and carrageenan. These are not the ingredients I want my kids to be eating on a hot summer day.

These homemade banana fudge popsicles are a much better option. Sweet, creamy, and full of chocolate goodness, they take just minutes to make and you can enjoy them as soon as they’re frozen. Kids won’t realize they’re eating a nutritious snack, and you won’t have to worry about chemicals in their summer treats.

Ingredients

• 2 cups sliced ripe bananas (2 large bananas)
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup milk dairy or non-dairy
• 2 tbs maple syrup
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

• Place all the ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until smooth.
• Transfer the mixture to popsicle molds and freeze. (I use the Tovolo Star Ice Pop Molds, which I like because they're not too big and they have a handy base that fits well in the freezer.)
• To remove the popsicles from their molds, leave them out on the counter for a few minutes or run them under lukewarm water to loosen.
