Chocolate Fudge Pops & Creamy Chocolate Cups [Vegan, Raw, Gluten & Oil-Free]

Every now and then I find myself in the kitchen licking a spoon covered in a new chocolate creation, last night was such an event! Ever since my dear friend, Jeanie, mentioned how much she loved chocolate avocado fudgsicles I knew I had to try them! At the time we were enjoying raw brownies with creamy chocolate frosting, made with avocados. It dawned on me, the frosting on those brownies would make a perfect fudge pop, and I was right! I didn't look at the recipe Jeanie shared as I wanted to create something that reflected me. I decided 2 fudgsicles would be great for the next day but I certainly needed to test it out that evening, the craving was too strong! That's when Creamy Chocolate Cups were created!!

This recipe is wonderful because you get two recipes in one AND you can enjoy the creamy chocolate cups within an hour. Plus, it only takes 1 avocado so others can be used for guacamole, because lets face it, avocados rock!!! Had you asked me if I'd fancy a chocolate avocado treat 5 years ago, I can surely say I'd pass as the thought of them together doesn't seem natural, boy was I wrong. They go together like two peas in a pod! It makes the creamiest chocolate. You can use this recipe as a base to chocolates, fudgsicles, as ice cream, frosting or as you fancy! I hope you enjoy this chocolate treat as much as my husband and I did!
