These are gluten and dairy-free popsicles that you can make using homemade popsicle molds that you can pick up at a kitchen store or through Amazon.  

3 Yummy Homemade Popsicle Recipes

From Kristina S:

Both of these came out pretty tasty- not as sweet as their sugary counterparts, but they really hit the spot on a hot day.  For the chocolate one, honey or maple syrup can be used as a sweetener.  My boyfriend was used as the taster since he has a massive sweet tooth. He liked both but thought the Fauxdsicle could have been more chocolatey. It worked for me.

Also, I’m not sure if it makes a huge difference, but I use a high speed blender and I think it factored in a bit with the chocolate one as I blended it well and almost heated it a bit through blending.  I’m guessing this helped with the gelatin.

Enjoy!
