Summer in Florida can get pretty hot and humid, and because the kids want to be outside playing now that school is out, I need to find new ways to keep them cool. They love popsicles, I mean, who doesn’t? So every summer, I try to experiment with new flavors and combinations to offer my family frozen treats that will cool them down and provide a nutritious, healthy, and delicious snack. I will share with you today a recipe for avocado chocolate popsicles.

Lately, I’ve been obsessed with using avocados in desserts. I made some brownies with avocado a few weeks ago and they were delicious, but most importantly I got to sneak in some avocado without my kids knowing it, and that was pretty exciting. I still have to tweak the recipe a bit since they didn’t turn out photo-worthy, but I promise I will share it with you soon!
So after the brownies, I started thinking about other ways I could use the avocado and chocolate combination, and decided to give these popsicles a try. I have to say they came out great, and the kids loved them.
The best part is that my in-laws, who live only a few blocks away, have an avocado tree in their backyard, so we have lots of avocados. This is one of the great advantages of living in Southwest Florida!
In the chocolate popsicle recipe, I added avocado instead of butter to give it a smoother, lusher texture. For the chocolate popsicles, you can also use chocolate pudding.
Avocado and Chocolate Popsicles
Creamy, marbled popsicles with an avocado layer and a chocolate layer, lightly sweetened with condensed milk and agave. A fun dessert for kids and adults!
Ingredients
FOR AVOCADO POPSICLES:
- 3 ripe avocados, medium sized
- 1 1/2 cups of almond milk
- 4 Tbsp sweetened condensed milk
- 1 Tbsp of agave syrup
FOR CHOCOLATE POPSICLES:
- 2 cups vanilla flavored almond milk
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 3 tbsp cocoa
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp of avocado
Instructions
FOR AVOCADO POPSICLES:
- In a blender, combine avocados, almond milk, condensed milk, and agave syrup.
- Puree until smooth.
- Place avocado mix in freezer for 30 minutes (so that the sticks hold up and don't sink into the mix in the mold).
FOR CHOCOLATE POPSICLES:
Combine the sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and almond milk in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Simmer for about two minutes, stir constantly until the mix thickens.
Remove from heat and let cool.
Transfer the chocolate mixture to a blender and add the avocado. Blend until smooth.
Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
MAKING THE POPSICLES:
Pour the avocado and chocolate mix into the popsicle mold.
To give the popsicles a marbled look, put a couple of spoonfuls of chocolate mix in the mold, then pour a couple of spoonfuls of avocado mix, and repeat a layer of each until the molds are filled.
Put the lid on the mold and insert sticks.
Freeze for at least 6 hours.
To unmold, place molds in warm water (not hot) for 20-30 seconds, and the popsicles will slide right off.

Me encantan las paletas de aguacate! Yo también las hago con fresas y leche condensada.
This is so cool! I love it! I make an avocado and chocolate pudding that taste just like chocolate pudding. No baking!
Thank for the recipe! I need to try this ASAP!
Me encantaron, Paula. Tengo que probarlas.
Adoro los aguacates pero no se me habia ocurrido hacer paletas. Se ven deliciosas las tengo que probar, gracias!
Que buena idea, que rico!!
Son tan deliciosas, las probé hace unos años con nueces y mango!
Me encanta el combo!
¡Que idea tan original! Y nutritiva además! Tengo que probarla!
Uh, Paula! Qué curiosa mezcla! No hubiera imaginado jamás mezclar aguacate y chocolate! Me encantan por separados, así que, juntos seguro que también. Gracias por la receta!
Me gusta el avocado salado, pero en Brazil no me anime a comerlo dulce, ahora creo que me animaste a prepararle estas paletas a mi Pequeña! Yumm…
¡FELIZ DÍA!ॐ
