The problem with sneaking avocado into desserts is that people aren’t sneaking it in enough. They are literally the secret ingredient to making desserts creamy while upping their nutrients. Avocado brings healthy monounsaturated fat, fiber, folate, and vitamin E to the dessert table. Now throw in some cocoa and you up the antioxidant game. Plus, these are dairy and refined sugar-free fudge pops.
These fudge pops are frozen so you can make a batch at the start of the week to have a little homemade treat on hand. The kids love these too. You can feel better about giving them a treat with these healthy fudge pops since the only sugar in these pops are from dates.
