Course: Snack
Diet: Vegan
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Kabuli Chana (White Chickpeas), soaked overnight and cooked
- 1/4 cup Peanut Butter (or almond butter)
- 2 cups Soy Milk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1/3 cup Date Syrup
- 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder
- 1-1/2 Ripe Bananas, fully ripe
- A pinch of Salt
Preparation Time: 40 minutes
Cooking Time: 0 minutes
Instructions:
-
Soak and Cook the Chickpeas: Soak the chickpeas in enough water overnight or for at least 6 hours. Once soaked, pressure cook the chickpeas until soft. Drain the water and allow them to cool completely. For a creamier texture and to remove any lingering chickpea flavor, remove the skins from the cooked chickpeas.
-
Blend the Ingredients: In a food processor or blender, combine the chickpeas with the peanut butter, soy milk, vanilla extract, date syrup, cocoa powder, bananas, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. For an extra creamy texture, feel free to add thick coconut milk or almond milk.
-
Freeze the Mixture: Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once frozen, let the fudgesicles thaw on the counter for 3–4 minutes before unmolding. Enjoy your delicious, healthy, and refreshing vegan treat!
Pro Tip: These Vegan Chocolate Fudgesicles make for a perfect post-meal dessert. Pair them with a hearty Creamy Mushroom Risotto for a satisfying, balanced meal.
Notes:
- If you’re looking for an even creamier fudgesicle, adding a bit of coconut milk or almond milk will give them an extra luscious texture.
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less date syrup based on your taste preferences.
