I feel a little old asking this, but do kids still call them fudgsicles? We called them fudge sticks growing up, but I’m not sure if that was a common term. Is that just a Newfoundland thing? We also called ice cream sandwiches ‘long treats’, and chocolate chip ice cream sandwiches ‘chippers’, so it’s quite possible we had an ice cream language all our own!

Speaking of ice cream….I know it’s end of summer and you may already be in fall mode, but I’m sharing another frozen treat today. I would apologize but the unofficial end of summer (AKA Labour Day weekend) is still two weeks away, so sharing and indulging in summer treats is still totally acceptable!

My latest indulgence is these Chocolate Peanut Butter Mocha Nice Cream Pops. (If they’re clean eating, should we still call them an indulgence?). In any case, if you know me, you know chocolate, peanut butter and banana are one of my favourite combos. And since these pops have been on repeat in my house for the better part of the summer, I thought I should hurry up and share the recipe before summer ends!

Tips for making Chocolate Peanut Butter Mocha Nice Cream Pops

  • As with other nice cream pop recipes, you will want to use a high-powered blender or food processor to blend together the frozen ingredients. Otherwise, you risk burning out the motor in your appliance.
  • Have patience blending the ingredients together. It will take some time, but the mixture will turn smooth and creamy. Resist the urge to add more liquid to speed up the process as this will lead to icy pops. (Speaking from experience here!)
  • I like adding coffee to the mixture as it enhances the cocoa taste. But if you’re making these for children, just substitute the coffee with dairy-free milk.
  • I use smooth, salted natural peanut butter as I like the creamy texture it adds to the pops. But you can also use chunky. Also, if you use a natural peanut butter without salt added, you may wish to add a pinch of salt to the nice cream mixture.
  • The chocolate and peanut topping can get a little messy (for kids and adults!) so you can forego these toppings if you like. The fudgsicles taste great on their own. I just have an obsession with dark chocolate drizzle and I don’t mind getting messy!

All you need are six ingredients to make these Chocolate Peanut Butter Mocha Nice Cream Pops! They’re clean eating, vegan and taste just like a fudgsicle!

  • Author: Leanne
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Total Time: 10 minutes (plus time for freezing)
  • Yield: 6 popsicles 1x
  • Category: Dessert
Scale

Ingredients

  • 4 large bananas, chopped and frozen
  • 1/3 cup strong coffee, cooled
  • 6 tbsp natural peanut butter, smooth and salted
  • 4 tbsp cocoa, unsweetened
  • Toppings:
    • Chopped peanuts (raw)
    • Melted dark chocolate (vegan – see note)

Instructions

  1. Add the bananas, coffee, peanut butter and cocoa to a high powered blender or food processor, and blend/process on high until smooth and creamy. This will take a few minutes. You may need to stop a few times to scrape down the sides and loosen up the mixture.
  2. Pour mixture into popsicle molds. Sprinkle some chopped peanuts on top of the pops. (This will actually be the bottom of the pops when they come out of the mold). Place in the freezer for 6-8 hours, or until frozen.
  3. Remove from freezer and run the molds under warm water to help release the pops.
  4. Lay the pops out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and use a spoon to drizzle on the melted chocolate. Sprinkle the peanuts on quickly as the chocolate will set up fast. Place the pops back in the freezer to set up. Once set, store in an airtight container in the freezer.

Notes

  1. I used 3-ounce popsicle molds for this recipe, which resulted in 6 pops. You will get more or less depending on the size of your popsicle molds.
  2. Some higher quality dark chocolates are naturally vegan, or you can look for dark chocolate branded as vegan. If you don’t need these pops to be vegan or dairy-free, you can use just any brand of dark chocolate.

    We do call them fudgesicles here and my kids love them. I’m not a fan of the packaged kind because they’re so full of crazy ingredients so I’m all for making my own! These would be hit here and I’m adding these to my list to make before summer is over!

      Thanks Marcie! I haven’t had a packaged fudgsicle in such a long time. And I don’t think I’ll buy them now that I have this recipe. Hope you get a chance to make them before summer is over! Would love to know what you think!

    I’m familiar with all these terms, lol. We do often have our own language and sometimes I have to ask myself ‘is that what people outside Newfoundland say…will they know what I mean?’ Lol. I can’t believe we are nearing the end of summer. Like, where did it go? Seems like only yesterday is was here and now Hallmark has Christmas decorations out. Geez. I could definitely go for 1 or 5 of these pops right about now. I don’t mind getting messy either 😉 Bring on the drizzle!

      Thanks Dawn! I’m so happy you know those terms too! I definitely think we have our own lingo around here. And yes, this entire year flew by. Can’t believe xmas is just a few months away again! Hope you’re having a great summer!

    haha I’m the same way…while I’m getting super excited for pumpkin pie etc, it’s STILL summer and I want all the no-bake treats, ice cream pies, ice cream anything…to try to celebrate summer as long as we can. We Canadians don’t get as long of a summer as some of our friends to the south, and ours is much longer than yours on top of that (haha! I’m only basing that on the fact that I was in NB in late May and you guys were getting snow lol) so I don’t blame you at all girl.
    I think they are still called fudgicles as my friends’ kids ask for them. I used to love them as a kid too, and also those ice cream sandwiches. That’s funny that you guys called them long treats, I’d never heard that term before. Do you remember Chipwiches? I LOVED those… not sure if they even make them anymore as I haven’t seen them. My all-time fave was Pudding Pops (remember the Bill Cosby commercial?), I would eat the whole box!! But nothing beats homemade ice cream treats and these sound amazing! Love the added coffee and PB, YUM! I gotta make these before the cool weather gets here. Enjoy the rest of summer, my friend…. and thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe 😀

      Thanks Dana! We had a great summer in Newfoundland, but we really only get July and August. Winter seems to drag on for us. Luckily, we’re heading into fall, which is my fave time of year. I totally remember chipwiches and pudding pops!! Now, that’s a flashback to my childhood! Hope you’re enjoying the last few weeks of summer!
