These creamy, chocolatey fudgesicles will satisfy any sweet tooth. Plus, they’re actually good for you! Made with loads of pumpkins and bananas, they serve as part of your veggie and fruit in-take for the day.
I’m always looking for ways to get my kids to eat more veggies. If I get a chance to hide them in a dessert without them knowing, I definitely jump at the chance. These healthy fudgsicles are made from just a handful of wholesome ingredients – pumpkin, banana, cacao powder and condensed milk. Well, I guess you can’t really call condensed milk wholesome. But I figure a little condensed milk wouldn’t hurt since its mostly pumpkin and banana, lol.
I can’t get my daughters to eat roasted pumpkin or pumpkin soup yet, but they love these fudgesicles. It’s nice when there’s enthusiasm rather than complaints regarding eating veggies!
