Chocolatey Mocha Keto Fudgesicles
Chocolaty and dreamy-creamy, these cool keto-friendly fudgesicles mingle chocolate and coffee with a kiss of cardamom, which adds an exotic touch. For more traditional mocha flavor or kid-friendly flavors, skip the cardamom. Note: this recipe calls for popsicle molds and sticks. The pops keep in the freezer for 1 month.

Some emerging research suggests that erythritol might increase the risk of blood clots, but more studies are needed to confirm this potential link. Whether you decide to use erythritol or not, remember that all sweeteners should be consumed in moderation, and your keto diet should primarily focus on nutritious whole foods.

Instructions
- In a small, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the coconut milk, cacao powder, sweetener, espresso powder, chocolate, vanilla, cardamom, and a pinch of salt over medium heat. Stir gently and occasionally with a spoon (not a whisk) until the chocolate melts and everything is smooth and well combined, 8 to 10 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl. Let cool for 10 minutes.
- Carefully pour the cooled mixture into 6 (3 oz) popsicle molds, then place the pops in the freezer. Insert the popsicle sticks after 1 hour, and freeze until solid, at least 4 hours.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove the pops from the molds by dipping them in hot water for a few seconds to loosen them from the pops, place the pops on the prepared baking sheet, then wrap well with plastic wrap and keep frozen until use.
