Cathe Olson at vegfamily.com has a great recipe for vegan fudgesicles.   This recipe makes 1-1/4 quarts, so you’ll have to trim it down when you use your Play & Freeze.

Fudgesicle Ice Cream
This vegan ice cream is fudgier and icier than real ice cream – very similar in taste and texture to a Fudgesicle. It gets very hard in the freezer so if you have leftovers, plan to leave them out up to 30 minutes (depending on how much you have) to soften before eating.

  • 4 cups soy or rice milk
  • 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup unrefined sugar
  • 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips (vegan)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Combine 1/4 cup soy or rice milk with arrowroot and set aside. Pour the remaining 3 3/4 cups milk into a medium pan. Whisk in cocoa powder and sugar. Warm over medium heat until milk begins to simmer. Whisk in the arrowroot mixture. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally until mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat. Stir in chocolate chips and vanilla. Let cool to room temperature. Cover and chill in refrigerator at least three hours. Freeze in ice cream maker according to manufacturer’s directions.
