Roses are red.
Mint-chocolate fudge pops are green.
That doesn’t rhyme.
But really, who cares?
It’s too early for poetry anyway.
But not too early for fudge pops.
No, never.

Mint-Chocolate Fudgsicles
Just 5 ingredients…
with a secret healthy ingredient!
- 1 cup plain or vanilla yogurt of choice, or 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk (I used Silk soy yogurt, and Wholesoy works too. I’m sure many other brands work, but I’ve only tried these pops with the two brands mentioned.)
- 1/16 to 1/4 tsp pure peppermint extract (or more), depending on desired mint strength
- 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1-3 stevia packets or 1-3 tbsp sugar or liquid sweetener of choice (Sweetener amount will depend on your choice of yogurt, as well as your personal taste preferences. Remember that the pops will be less sweet once frozen.)
- scant 1/16 tsp salt
- optional: packed 1/2 cup spinach (20g), or food coloring as desired (The pictured pops have spinach, not food coloring. You cannot taste it at all!)
- optional: handful of chocolate chips or mini chips
If using spinach, blend all ingredients until completely smooth. (If not using spinach, combine all ingredients in a large bowl or pyrex measuring cup.) Pour into popsicle molds, or paper cups with spoons as the sticks. Freeze completely, then pop out and enjoy.
My chocolate chips all wanted desperately to sink to the bottom: To avoid this, you can fill the pops 1/2-way up first and freeze. Then fill the rest of the way. Or…
I just gave up and covered them in chocolate!
The chocolate coating is this recipe: Hot Chocolate Butter.
Question of the Day:
What flavor popsicles should I make next?
There’s still half a big container of Silk yogurt in my fridge, begging to be used. At first, I was thinking pumpkin pie. But really, who wants to see pumpkin popsicles in the middle of June? So maybe chocolate-chip cookie dough? Or a fruit-based flavor… Strawberry Shortcake Popsicles? Or Piña Colada?

Katie these fudge pops are AMAZING! Mint-choc chip ice cream is my favourite so I just had to make these. They were so delicious, and so quick to make. I’ve just made a second batch as I got through the first one so quickly. It’s such a good idea to add in spinach too. These taste just like the real thing, its hard to believe they’re health for you! Thank you for posting this recipe it’s one of my new favourite desert recopies!
have you ever tried a chocolate banana starbucks smoothie? its sooooo good!!!! id love it if you made a reicipie 🙂 its not that theyre horribly unhealthy, theres a whole banana and 180 calories but i really wanna make one at home that taste just like it! id love it if you would make a recipie 😀
No, I didn’t know they made such a thing. I’ll have to look for it! 🙂
Maybe try my chocolate cake batter smoothie?
Has anyone here used the caffeine free cocoa powder sold as Wondercocoa from Wonderslim? Its roasted cocoa powder but 99.7% caffeine free. I’m curious about taste and quality. Sometimes I’m in a chocolate mood but dont want the extra caffeine jolt!
I love your website and loved your chocolate chip cookie dough dip. I wish I was a neighbor, so I could be a taste tester. 🙂 I will be buying your cookbook the second it comes out. I want to make so many of your recipies, there isn’t enough time.
misspelled my own name.

I am not sure if you’ll get this, but silk soy yogurt isn’t vegan. They use milk for active cultures. I called and asked bc it’s not really clear.
these look yummy!!
I wanted to tell you of a variation of this I made. So, instead of making them into pops, I made it into ice cream, using spinach and coconut cream (Trader Joe’s has it but it’s been out of stock whenever I went, so I get it from Sprouts, although theirs isn’t quite as good as TJ’s).
Instead of adding chocolate chips, I make your amazing chocolate shell/coating sauce and drizzle that into the ice cream mixture as its being churned (at least 5 minutes into its churning). That way, it hardens into small chocolate pieces that are soft (I hate hard chocolate pieces in my ice cream). YUM! I do this with your cherry Garcia recipe also. 🙂
