Hands up, who wants some ice cream? These chocolate popsicles are made with lots of cocoa powder, sweetened with dates and sprinkled with chocolate chips. Luckily, we can make 12 at once with our popsicle mold, so you have a supply after becoming seriously hooked on them! They are creamy and have a fantastic rich chocolate flavor. We finished ours in no time!

The overall size of my popsicle mold is 21x14x10cm (8,2×5,5×3,9inch), and the capacity of each popsicle mold is 75 ml. It allows you to make 12 popsicles at once.
How to make Vegan Chocolate Popsicles:
Making these chocolate popsicles is super simple. Let’s get started! First chop the dates roughly and bring them to a boil with the coconut cream in a pan for three minutes. Leave to cool slightly. When the dates soak a little in liquid, they become softer and creamy when pureed. Peel the bananas and cut them into large pieces. Add them to a blender with the dates, coconut milk, cacao, and a pinch of salt. Blend until you have a very smooth consistency.
Now, chop the chocolate into small cubes about 2-3mm, and sprinkle about five pieces in the empty compartments of the popsicle mold. Then, pour the ice cream mixture into the popsicle molds and decorate some pieces of our chocolate cubes on top.
Close the mold with the lid, and press the wooden sticks halfway into the chocolate mixture. I left them to freeze overnight or at least 6 hours but the freezing time depends on the freezer you have.
These popsicles are seriously addictive! I hope you enjoyed this delicious vegan chocolate popsicle recipe. Let me know what you think in the comments below!

Notes
If you want to save your frozen popsicles for another day, just transfer them to a zipper bag and pop them in the freezer! My new mold came with small plastic bags with sealing clips, which is great because it lets you pack each popsicle separately before putting them all in a zipper bag.
