Popsicles, who’s with me? Me, Me, Me!!! It’s May and the temperatures are rising. When I look out the window, I immediately feel like a bikini, swimming lake and barbecue. Simply wonderful and as long as the weather lasts, I have very special cravings for: ICE !!! Here then quickly arises the question of where to get delicious vegan ice cream that you do not want to dispose of after the first bite. Since we live in the country, the choice is very limited. There is exactly one supermarket that has a vegan lemon sorbet in its assortment and the other (oh how progressive) has a lupine ice cream. Well, since I finally want to have a healthy popsicle again, I just make one myself.
Vegan chocolate popsicles – it could hardly be faster and easier
It gets interesting when we take a closer look at the ingredients. The list reads like a dream. Cashews, Almond milk , juicy Medjoul dates, maple syrup, cocoa powder, coconut oil, a frozen banana and a pinch of sea salt. Now let’s compare the ingredients list of a chocolate popsicle stick from the supermarket. Right up front is usually water, sugar and glucose syrup, various dairy products, emulsifiers and sometimes nasty flavor enhancers and unhealthy food colors. Today we leave that once at home and concentrate on delicious, healthy and vegan ice cream that melts deliciously in your mouth and is simply fun.
Fancy “Steckerleis” (Bavarian) and “Eis am Stiel” (for everyone else)?
You know what I enjoy the most? The coating with chocolate and the toppings. Here you can get really creative, because everything is allowed.
Here are my TOP 5 covers:
- Dark or white vegan chocolate
- chopped almonds or other nuts
- Raspberry powder (for a pleasant acidity)
- vegan gummy bears or smarties
- white chocolate & chopped almonds
Perfect also for a little “craft hour” with kids. You don’t even have to have a guilty conscience, because these little treats have calories, but are a lot healthier than their supermarket counterparts. However, there is one thing that you should acquire: Silicone ice cream molds , because without it, unfortunately, it will be a bit difficult. Here you can find my mold(mini magnum molds) that I used for this recipe.
If you want to add more superfoods to the ice cream, I recommend chia seeds, vegan protein powder, or pure guarana (for more energy). What is your favorite superfood? I look forward to your comments at the bottom.
Would you like a drink to go with your creamy popsicle? Then I recommend a Immune Booster Latte , Chocolate Chia Smoothie , hot chocolate or golden milk .
The simple creamy chocolate popsicles are:
- creamy
- chocolatey
- Delicately melting
- Naturally sweetened
- Quickly made
Let’s go with this ice-cold, creamy temptation. I hope you enjoy “baking” and of course about a review at the bottom of this page. If you post a picture, use the hashtag #veganevibes.

Drain and use. Alternatively, steep in cold water covered for at least 6 hours, drain water and use. I have a Bledtec and do not soak the nuts beforehand.200 g raw cashews
