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?

These look so good! I need to get a Popsicle mould soon!
And I agree with other that pina coloda popsicles would be great!
Here’s a link to the HopeFULL molds. They are wonderful and such a great company too! http://www.thehopefullcompany.com/
Those sound so good!
Mmm so fun! This sounds awesome!
I love all your ideas and recipes! This one looks amazing as well! I love mint and anything frozen-can’t wait to try.. thanks for all the great recipes 🙂
MAybe raspberry mint, or mango peach – thats very summery – or something with kiwi, or passionfruit, I LOVE passionfruit!
Well I always make Green-a Colada. Pina Colada + spinach of course. 🙂 Kids love them too.
I’d love a low-sugar coconut cream popscicle. I love those coconut bars you can get at the store but they have too much sugar for me right now.
looks amazing! i love the combination of mint and chocolate! so refreshing and yummy! thanks for sharing!
Yummy! I just got a set of popsicle molds and was planning on using them to make my fudgesicle bars into actual fudgesicles (http://nutritious-n-delicious.blogspot.com/2012/05/fudgesicle-bars.html). After seeing your post though I think I might want to try another flavor. Maybe strawberry cheesecake?! Chocolate peanut butter!? What do you think? 🙂 The possibilities are endless.
Mmm. I REALLY need to go invest in a set of popsicle molds!
My vote is for the cookie dough, a nice french vanilla (or even coffee/espresso/mocha!), or strawberries and cream!
mmmmm cookie dough popsicle PLEASE! x)
Peanut butter chocolate chip!!
Cookie dough all the way!
I vote for strawberry shortcake!!
Using spinach for the food coloring is genius. Somehow, mint ice cream just tastes better when it’s green.
Using spinach as food coloring is genius – mint ice cream tastes better when it’s green!! As for the next flavor, I vote strawberry shortcake.
I think Mimosa flavoured would be awesome!
Yum! I’m going to have to dig out my popsicle mold. I think chocolate chip cookie dough sounds AMAZING.
