It began with a chocolate pie recipe that became fudgsicles. In my world, that's often how it works. A slice of "Chocolate Banana Freezer Pie" pictured on the cover of my Clean Eating Magazine has been tempting me since its June 2011 publication. However, as I was reorganizing my walk-in pantry, some retro-style popsicle molds, that I had received as a gift from my daughter Jessie several years ago, caused two ideas to collide. I thought, "The pie filling recipe in my Clean Eating Magazine would make perfect fudgsicles." And it did. And they were. Perfect fudgsicles.
The fudgsicle's sweetness comes solely from bananas. No additional sweetener. The pie filling's pourable consistency makes filling the molds a breeze, and the frozen product readily releases from the molds with a stream or spray of hot water aimed at the desired number of popsicles you choose to consume. Place the remainder back into the freezer for another day.
A happy collision of pie filling and popsicle molds.
