Keto Chocolate Avocado Popsicles (low-carb, paleo)

This recipe uses one unusual ingredient — avocados. Don't be afraid, they work surprisingly well in low-carb desserts, especially when combined with chocolate. Even if you are a picky eater, you won't be able to tell the difference because of their neutral taste.

Avocados add a deliciuosly creamy texture, are high in potassium and are a great source of heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acids. Also check out my Keto Mint Chocolate Chip Ice-Cream and Creamy Key Lime Popsicles.

Step-by-step

Halve the avocados and remove the seeds. Scoop the soft pulp into a blender and add the coconut milk, cacao powder and Erythritol.
Add the cinnamon and stevia.
Process until well combined.
The texture should be smooth and creamy. Process until you can't see any bits of avocado.
Scoop the mixture into popsicle molds and add popsicle sticks. Each popsicle I made is about ¹/₂ cup (60 ml) so if you use smaller molds, you will end up with more servings.
Place in the freezer for 3-4 hours or until frozen. To release the popsicles from the molds, briefly dip the popsicle molds into a pot of hot water.
Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Can I use 18% cream?
1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor12 October 2023
  Yes you can! This recipe does not require high-fat cream such as whipping so 18% will be fine.

I got a little confused about how to mix it all. Apparently, overseas food processors are called blenders? Well, I have a high speed blender so it worked, but next time I'll use the food processor because it was really thick. I loved the recipe. This was the first time I used my Tupperware popsicle molds in literally over four decades! It was fun to make and delicious. I had bought a bag of avocados and was running out of time to use them up when I came upon this recipe. I loved it. Thank you

  Oh yes, you are right, the photos do indeed show a food processor but a blender will create identical results so you can use either 😊 I've made it so many times I didn't realise the photos were not exactly matching. If it was too thick, add a dash of water or almond milk - this will work best!

This was delicious! We added 1/2tsp of chili powder to give it a little heat and a dash of salt to open the flavors. Delicious as pudding or frozen pops. Thanks for the recipe!!!!

  Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed! ❤️

Amazing!!!!!!! 10.billion stars!! Only substitute was to use Torani Chocolate sugar free syrup instead of liquid sweetener and Stevia.
1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor12 June 2016
  Thank you Mary, I'm glad you liked it!

Can I put the mixture in my ice-cream machine?
1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor18 May 2015
  Hi Sjanette, yes you can! I've tried it just a few weeks ago and also added some dark chocolate chips - yum! 😊
2. Mary Elizabeth10 June 2016
  :0 , so doing this...
kariane21 April 2015

1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor21 April 2015
  They are amazing - still have 2 in the freezer! 😊

I LOVE avocados. I wish I could figure out why I can't stand them in desserts, esp with chocolate. I love their creaminess but the avocado taste just comes bursting thru the sweet and chocolate tastes. Ruining the tastes, all around 😞
1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor21 April 2015
  I see... On the other hand, it's great that you like avocados - no need to use them in a sweet recipe 😊
Vicky20 April 2015
I remember I made avocado chocolate pudding with similar ingredients and it was awesome! Will def try freezing now!
1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor20 April 2015
  Oh yes, avocados go amazingly well with chocolate - I've tried mousse, ice-cream and even brownies with it 😊
