How Long Can I Store These Keto Ice Cream Bars in the Freezer?
These fudgesicle ice cream bars will keep in the freezer for quite a long time, probably for up to 6 months to be exact if stored properly. Although with how delicious they are it’s highly unlikely they’ll ever last for as long as they’ll keep!

Are These Keto Ice Cream Bars Healthy?
Yes! These ice cream bars aren’t just a tasty cold treat. They’re also rather nutritious as well.
- Non-keto chocolate ice cream bars can have as much as 30 grams of sugar per bar. Meanwhile this keto ice cream bar recipe is completely sugar-free. It all depends on the type of chocolate you use.
- These bars get some of their chocolate flavoring from cacao powder, which is absolutely loaded with beneficial antioxidant compounds. There’s even evidence that cacao powder can relieve chronic inflammation and help to protect against cardiovascular diseases. (1)
- If you use dark chocolate when making this recipe, you’ll be adding in even more beneficial antioxidants and heart healthy monounsaturated fatty acids. Dark chocolate has also been found to protect against heart disease and may even help with preventing cognitive decline. (2)

I always thought that fudgesicles were just frozen pudding. That’s what I’ve used in the past. How does this recipe improve the final results as opposed to freezing your chocolate pudding recipe?
Because they’re less dense before you freeze these fugdesicles (vs. using a pudding recipe), these turn out much smoother and creamier.
Believe me, I like a good pudding pop too though, lol.
Could you use full fat coconut milk for the heavy cream, if vegan? Or just coconut cream?
Coconut milk would work perfectly and would be super delicious :) I’ve definitely made them like that before and they were amazing.
Hi! Can you leave out the cocoa powder? Like if you melted 6 oz of the Lily’s chocolate chips? Or you still want the cocoa for added chocolate flavor?
You definitely could! The fudgesicles would be less creamy and a little more dense though.
