In this recipe, we are using our Sugar-Free Chocolate Sauce recipe. It works perfectly in this sugar-free fudgsicles recipe.

FAQ and helpful tips
Using Silicone Popsicle Moulds
You can use either silicone or hard plastic popsicle moulds. I prefer silicone because I can easily remove the fudgesicle without having to use hot water on the outside of the mould.
If using a hard plastic mould you will need to dip them in to warm water for a couple of seconds to loosen them from the sides of the mould.
Using a Baking tray – I like to use a baking sheet to keep my moulds steady and flat when placing them into the freezer. . It also results in a more even fudgesicle when you remove them from the moulds.
Adding flavours
You can easily add flavoured extracts to the recipe if you want an additional flavour. I sometimes will add coffee for a nice smooth mocha flavour.
Adding Coffee – use instant coffee, such as Starbucks Via Ready Brew. Heat up some of the sugar-free chocolate sauce and put in the coffee granules and stir, until dissolved. Reheat if necessary, making sure all the coffee is dissolved.
Flavour Extracts – There are many options for flavours that can be added to these sugar-free Fudgesicles. Some suggestions include peppermint extract, strawberry extract, orange extract, coconut extract or choose a favourite. Start by adding about 1/4 of a teaspoon and add more if you desire a stronger flavour.
Adding Nuts or chocolate pieces
Nuts can easily be added to these fudgsicles. Just make sure you chop them finely and account for them when considering nutritional values.
For chocolate pieces, make sure that you are keeping the Sugar-Free Fudgesicles recipe sugar-free for the best results. Chop the chocolate finely and don’t forget to count the carbs.
Storing Sugar-Free Fudgesicles
Store your sugar-free fudgesicles in an airtight container in the freezer (obviously). Place waxed paper around them to keep them from sticking together
Substitutions
Chocolate Sauce – As mentioned above, feel free to substitute our homemade Sugar-Free Chocolate Sauce with Walden Farm’s zero-carb chocolate sauce.
Cream – You can substitute the cream with Unsweetened Coconut cream or your favourite non-dairy product. Always Remember it will will alter the nutritional information.
Xanthum Gum – If you don’t have it or would prefer to use unflavored gelatin, feel free. You will need 1 tablespoon of unflavored relating softened in about 1 tablespoon of water.
Sweetener – You can use whatever your favourite sweetener is. I recommend liquid sweetener as it blends better in this recipe. Adjust the amounts to your likeness.
I hope you enjoy these Sugar-Free Fudgesicles for diabetics. Make a few or make a large batch. They are a great tasty summer treat to have on hand.
