For when you’ve got those chocolate cravings and don’t want to break the healthy eating plan!

3 Ingredient, 100 Calorie Chocolate Fudgsicle

I’m not on a diet.

I don’t even like the word diet. It implies that you are denying yourself something, a restriction of enjoyment, a temporary solution to a problem.

Fad diets aren’t sustainable, and they’re not a healthy way to live, in my humble untrained opinion.

I don’t need to lose weight, but I am on a mission to eat better and nourish my body in the best way I can (this does, on occasion, involve a few glasses of wine…). I’ll be 40 this year and I want to be in peak condition when I hit it.

3 Ingredient 100 Calorie Chocolate Fudgsicle

I’m also training for an event I am planning this summer (something I am yet to tell you all about – but watch this space – it’s going to be epic!), so I’m trying to exercise and nourish my body to strengthen and tone. I’m trying to be conscious of what I am putting in my body.

Chocolate still features in this healthy eating plan.

Instead of reaching for a branded milk chocolate bar (which tend to have very little actual chocolate in it and I end up eating the whole entire thing to myself and end up not having those chocolate cravings satisfied**) I’ve been reaching for one of my home made chocolate fudgsicles.

3 Ingredient, 100 Calorie Chocolate Fudgsicle

The key healthful ingredient in this recipe which doesn’t break the healthy eating plan?

Bananas!

I keep a supply of sliced bananas in the freezer for whipping up into the a quick and easy chocolate banana ice cream in my Froothie Optimum ThermoCook. I don’t have to wait for the bananas to soften when using this appliance as it has a super strong motor that makes short work of them, blending them into an intensely creamy instant ice cream.

The addition of cocoa powder and a touch of carb-free plant based sweetener takes it to a whole new level.

3 Ingredient 100 Calorie Chocolate Fudgsicle

You can make this recipe without the sweetener, but I do find that cocoa powder needs a little bit of sweet to balance it out. I used some Sukrin Icing Sugar I’d been sent to review some time last year. I found the packet in the back of my cupboard recently, as, if I am to be honest, I’m not a stevia fan. I find the taste quite artificial and metallic, so I don’t use it in my cooking.

A tiny pinch of it, when combined with the banana and cocoa powder in this recipe, totally works though. You can’t taste the stevia and it gives the cocoa powder that sweet balance the banana can’t do on its own.

As such, this recipe totally satisfies even the most intense chocolate cravings (ok, they do mine at least!) and depending on the type of cocoa powder you use, it comes in at less than 100 calories*. Win!

You can, if you want, eat the instant ice cream as soon as it’s creamed, or you can wait a little longer, place it in an ice cream lolly mould and enjoy this fudgsicle treat a little later on.

100 Calorie Chocolate Fudgsicle

Only three simple ingredients - a rich and decadent chocolate ice cream snack that won't break the healthy eating plan!
Prep Time5 mins
Total Time2 hrs 5 mins
Servings: 1 fudgsicle
Author: Elizabeth

Ingredients

  • 80 grams frozen banana segments
  • 10 grams cocoa powder
  • 10 grams Sukrin icing sugar (or other no cal sweetener, to taste)

Instructions

  • Optimum ThermoCook method - place all ingredients into the bowl and press the PULSE button for 6 seconds. Scrape down the sides and repeat PULSE for a further 6 seconds. This should be sufficient, but pulse and scrape again if needed.
  • High speed blender - place all ingredients and pulse for several seconds, scraping down the sides in between pulsing. It will take a minute or so to reach the right consistency.
  • Food processor method - place all the ingredients into your food processor and process on medium, stopping the machine frequently to scrape down the sides. It will take a few minutes but it will get there, just keep processing.
  • Either eat the instant ice cream as is, or spoon into an ice lolly mould. Tap the mould on the countertop a few times to remove any air bubbles and insert a wooden stick (I use my favourite wooden spoon).
  • Freeze for two hours and eat!

  1. Oh maaaan these are so great! really helping me get my treat fix while not bumping the calories too much!

  3. Hi Elizabeth. This looks delicious. Not sure if you are aware of the Miracle berry? The berry contains a protein that activates the taste receptors into perceiving sweetness when it comes into contact with acidic foodstuffs such as lemon, etc. If you don’t like stevia, you could try using agave syrup or even a squirt of lemon instead. I will be trying this out at the weekend so will post my experience with it. If you would like to try some unpressed miracle berry ( currently the most expensive fruit in the world), email me and I’ll send you a couple of grams. Take care and best of luck with your blog, I enjoy it very much. Adam.

  4. I love fudgsicles and have been looking for a recipe to make them at home. The fact that they are only 100 calories make them even better! Thanks!

  5. You had me at 3 ingredients and then chocolate! It’s always good to know that someone else feels the same as I do about the word “diet” or actually the phrase “I’m on a diet” – they are no good in the long wrong and can do more harm then good!

    Anyway these fudgsicles look great as an afternoon treat! Thank you for sharing with this month’s treat petite!

  6. Ok first of all I love that this just makes a single fudgsicle! Your photos look amazing- I’d love one right now! Second, I’m so with you on the diet thing. Diets are temporary – I’d much rather make a habit of eating well over going through a period of time where I restrict myself.

  10. Fudgsicles??? Why have we never come across these before? They sound delectable. I can imagine right now making a bowl of whipped cream to dip them in, too. Now that’s bad…but really really good.

  13. I agree with you on diets! Not at all necessary and almost never work… overall healthy eating and smart choices are a much better way to go. And that definitely includes chocolate! These fudgsicles look delicious – I can’t wait to make these with my little girl for a fun treat 🙂

  14. Great idea using frozen bananas for instant ice cream. I suppose adding other frozen fruit for different flavours would work also?

  33. I love chocolate so having a healthier solution is amazing. This looks so good and can be enjoyed all year round x

  42. I wonder if this will make my daughter like bananas! I’m sure it will. I am definitely going to try this. Have frozen bananas but didn’t know you have to peel them and slice them before freezing or it is too difficult to get the skin off. Doh.

  44. That looks and sounds divine! Never mind whether they’re healthy!! I think I might have to wait a month or two for the weather to warm up though, before I treat myself to one. Yum.
    PS love that ‘vintage’ lolly stick. Makes your pop even more indulgent 🙂

  50. You’ve made these look so enticing. Something about the ice-cream being on a stick, makes it hugely more appealing. And no need to wash up a bowl and spoon either – result! I’ve made a similar ice-cream, but I’ve not done it this way and used the Froothie blender. Feeling I’m missing out and must give it a try. Your year is sounding very exciting. Looking forward to finding out more.
