To start things off today i will share one thing. I am not a vegan ( I know shocking), I am not even a vegetarian (say whaaaaa?). I think they are both great, just I really really really love chicken, fried chicken to be exact. If I had a last meal it would consist of Fried Chicken, Broccoli covered in a delicious cheese sauce, and the creamiest most amazing mashed potatoes ever known to man. I am a southern girl deep, deep down in my heart. Although my father my slightly cringe at that thought, being a strictly Brooklyn man to his very core. He managed to raise a southern girl in Florida, funny how life works now isn't it. Got a bit off topic there, where was I going with this. Ah...yes. I think being the omnivore that I am, vegan dishes can be pretty tasty too some times. Not just tasty, but healthy, and raising a little one, healthy is always a goal I have in mind.
In enters Vegan Fudge Pops. I honestly did not set out to make these vegan, just healthy, well as healthy as fudge can be. I bought these ice pop molds two years ago with grand plans. I was going to make amazing ice pops that were healthy and ten times better than anything store bought, plus I'd save money making them myself. Needless to say first couple times were complete failure. They were way to watery and more like ice than delicious fruity goodness. I haven't touched them since. I guess a part of me felt scorned by my own grand ideas.A week ago I saw a pin on pintrest for homemade fudge pops and some voice in my head said, "Hey, I can do that", here we are.
Vegan Fudge Pops
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups Almond Milk
1/3 cup coconut sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa
1 tablespoon AP flour
1/2 teaspoons vanilla
a drizzle of honey (really to sweeten to your likeness)
In a medium saucepan add almond milk, coconut sugar, cocoa and flour. Wisk to combine. Let come to a simmer then wisk in vanilla and honey. Let come to a boil and take off heat. Pour into molds and freeze. Enjoy it's chocolaty goodness.
See how easy is that? Trust me, they are yummy yummy. I can't wait to get my little ones seal of approval. I hope everyone enjoys.
These ingredients turn into
Fudge Pops, yum.
And then one of my little man, for good measure.
Happy Days All.
*A side note, I am not sure if vegan's eat honey or not. But if not, if no honey is truly vegan, you can always cut out the honey and add a teaspoon or so more sugar. It's up to you.
