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?

Thanks for this! This looks awesome! I don’t have any mint extract, but I have a lot of fresh mint on hand. I’ve never used mint extract before. Do you think I will be able to get the same taste if I use actual mint? Thanks!!
Also, for what flavor pop next, can you do a vegan Dove bar? =)
I don’t think it would taste the SAME. But it would be just as good in its own right! 🙂
PUMPKIN POPSICLES!!! I’m a pumpkin head so I wouldn’t mind 🙂
Peaches and cream pops!!!!
Chocolate chip cookie dough and piña colada sound amazing! I also thought of strawberry cheesecake, cake batter (with sprinkles of course!) and PB&J though i don’t know how id do the last one… 🙂 post the recipe of whatever you do please!
ohh cake batter ones would be super easy to make…just make the awesome cake batter shake on here and freeze into Popsicle molds 🙂 I do that with a bunch of smoothies in the summer time.
Orange creamsicle!
cake batter pops next! 🙂
OMG Katie! DYING.
Pina coloda!!!! Maybe a virgin and alcoholic version… 😉
watermelon!!! 🙂
and/or strawberry yogurt pops, tangy and sweet.
ps another cookie pie is in the oven. Yes I’m baking at 11 am. This really is a great, easy dessert.
Watermelon! That would be REALLY good.
(are you trying with dates? :))
haha no to the dates
I had watermelon juice when I was in the Dominican and it was so refreshing and tasty
you should try watermelon lemonade…i drank so much of that last summer
OK. That sounds REALLY good too!
Chocolate-chip cookie dough sounds wonderful =)
I’d vouch for mango right off, just because it’s so rich. Or matcha. Or butterscotch. There’s too many flavors, go crazy!
I would love to see the pumpkin pie or the cookie dough! Sounds delish!
Yay, popsicles! These look incredible, I want them now!!! I would vote for a fruit flavor next – so refreshing for hot weather.
My very ordinary Popsicle ideas:
-Something with Peaches
-Blueberry something or other
-Red Velvet
-Banana
– Mango
-Coconut
-Chocolate Coconut
-Cake batter
-Peanut butter
-Chocolate Peanut butter
-Spice Cookie
-Dragon fruit!
strawberries and cream!!!! that would be delicious!!! or pineapple, or the cookie doughsound awesome, or cookies and cream, or dark chocolate raspberry, strawberry banana! ahh too many flavor ideas!
You are phenomenal. Making all of your recipes is on my bucketlist, as of right now.
I am begging you to make a coffee-flavored popsicle. BEGGING ON MY KNEES! 😉
Well, since you begged ;).
