We have had a couple of absolutely gorgeous days here in Seattle this week. I have almost had enough vitamin D to make me forget that it was one of the wettest winters in history. Almost.

But what it definitely has been is incentive to be outside soaking up every second. We have been walking Wilbur a bunch, gardening (I planted all my lettuce!!) and I even went running outside instead of on a treadmill – which was glorious. (Well I hate exercising- so it was as glorious as doing something I hate can be).

Vegan Fudgesicles

Also, of course, I made fudgesicles. Vegan fudgesicles to be exact. Coco has been talking about fudgesicles quite a bit lately because they have them at school, and obviously she can’t have any- but still really wants them. Also she has chocolate on the brain 24/7 with the play she is working on. Wait. Have I told you about this? Someone tell me if I am repeating myself- I am too lazy to read through old blog posts and my memory is much. You know how the girls have been doing broadway bound (musical theatre) for the last few years? I know I have talked about that a bunch before! Well Pia has taken a break from that to focus on fencing and little Coco is pleased as punch that she has something that is ALL HERS- especially since “acting is her life.”

So basically, at 6 years old she is freaking Charlie in “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” Ummmmm. She is SIX!!! We are all eating, sleeping and breathing the lines and the songs at this point. I think I could be her understudy! So, I will update you guys on that- especially any Seattleites who may want to bring their kids to see one of these fun productions- they really are so cute!

Vegan Fudgesicles

Ok, obviously I digressed- back to chocolate and fudgesicles. I made some and they kick the butt of regular fudgesicles. They are beyond outstanding. I licked the inside of the bowl they were in clean. CLEAN. Make these as soon as possible, you will not regret it! Have a great weekend!

Total time: 
Serves: 12
 
Ingredients
  • 2 cans unsweetened coconut cream (they sell this at Trader Joes)
  • 1 cup sugar (I used organic beet sugar)
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup chilled coconut milk
  • 3 tablespoons corn starch
Instructions
  1. In a medium sauce pan over medium heat combine the cream, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla and kosher salt. Whisk over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until the sugar has dissolved and the cocoa is completely mixed into the coconut cream.
  2. In a small Tupperware or mason jar, combine the coconut milk and corn starch and shake really well.
  3. Pour the cornstarch combination into the sauce pan while stirring over medium heat. Continue to cook and stir over medium heat until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Take the mixture off of the stove top and pour it into a bowl.
  4. Let it cool until it is room temperature and then before it gets too thick. Pour it into popsicle molds and shove the stick in the top. Freeze for at least 4 hours and then un-mold and enjoy!
