INGREDIENT NOTES:
ALMOND MILK:
- We use this as the main ingredient to make the creamy texture. It has a mild nutty taste and gives low calories. You may use oat milk for a creamier texture and rice milk for a thinner texture, as per your preference.
UNSWEETENED COCOA POWDER:
- It gives a deep chocolate taste. It includes a beautiful dark color and blends easily into the liquid mixture. Use raw cocoa powder or melted dark chocolate as an alternative.
MAPLE SYRUP:
- Maple syrup act as a natural sweetener in the recipe & dissolves easily. It adds pleasant sweetness and balances a smoother frozen texture. You may use agave syrup for similar sweetness or brown rice syrup to get mild sweetness and a smooth texture.
CORNSTARCH:
- This is the natural thickener and makes creamy fudgesicles. It makes your chocolate mixture thick and gives it a softer texture after freezing. You may use tapioca starch or arrowroot powder as another option.
VANILLA EXTRACT:
- Vanilla extract improves the taste of chocolate and gives warmth. It maintains the taste and creates a round taste in the fudgesicles. Use vanilla bean paste as per your choice.
SEA SALT:
- It is the main component to maintain sweetness and bring out the rich chocolate taste. Sea salt avoids the flat taste and improves all the items. You may use fine table salt, kosher salt, or flaky sea salt as an alternative.
