Zoku Popsicle Maker: Nutella Fudgesicles
New gadgets are fun. I was leafing through (more like studying) the latest issue of Donna Hay magazine and saw this Zoku popsicle maker that makes popsicles in less than 10 minutes. It’s been out for awhile and reviewed in a bunch of places — here’s theKitchn’s take — but I’d just missed it somehow. Sure, you could just use some Dixie cups and popsicle sticks, but oooh, a new gadget! Ten minutes, not two hours! And yeah, it’s $50, but oooh, new gadget!
Half the fun was deciding what flavors to make. Nutella fudgesicle was the obvious one. I thought about pomegranate, pineapple/coconut milk, horchata and bought ingredients for all three. In the end, horchata was the other flavor. I figured we could just drink what we didn’t use for the popsicles.
Between the two, Nutella fudgesicle was the clear winner. Creamy, Nutella-y and not overly sweet. This is so crazy simple, it’s not even cooking. It’s mixing. It was Clotilde’s Super Simple Nutella ice cream recipe on Chocolate & Zucchini, that gave me the a-ha moment on the base. In her recipe, Clotilde mixes evaporated milk and Nutella — that’s it. So I said, ok, I can use less actual Nutella, and I’ll kick up the chocolate hazelnut flavor with Pacific hazelnut chocolate milk. The hazelnut chocolate milk is non-dairy, but Nutella itself has milk in it – so these popsicles aren’t strictly dairy-free.
I didn’t try any advanced popsicle making w/ multiple layers this time out. I’m thinking I’ll have to look at the Zoku toolkit and decide how involved I really want to get, but you gotta try orange creamsicle, right?! The list of flavors is just going to get longer and longer.
Nutella Fudgesicles
Makes 6 pops with about 1/2 c. left over
1 1/2 c. Pacific hazelnut chocolate milk
1/2 c. Nutella
Whisk together the hazelnut milk and Nutella until mixed uniformly. Chill for at least 2 hours.
Pour into Zoku slots or other popsicle molds.

My kids will love this ice-cream and it is sooooo easy to make. Thanks for sharing this idea with us!
Thanks for sharing! I mixed 1/2 cup cold skim milk and 1/6 cup Nutella which yielded 3 Zoku popsicles. They were creamy, delicious and only 98 calories each!
Good to know! In case I don’t plan ahead for the Hazelnut Chocolate Milk. Thanks for stopping by!
Looks delicious… I will try these!
My husband is a diabetic. I’m going to try these as a healthier snack for him.
Diabetic=eating sugar.
Nutella=sugar
Sugar=not healthy
Really Jen?? Not all diabetics can’t have sugar. Sorry your post struck me as snarky. As an artifical pancreas to my diabetic kid, well he CAN and DOES have sugar with appropriate amount of insulin. But thanks for the input.
Not necessarily. Just moderate your sugar (carb intake).
I don’t understand why people have to be negative.
If you want to try the recipe – do.
If you don’t – then don’t.
If you can’t say something nice don’t say anything at all.
Just b/c someone posts a blog that contains a recipe doesn’t mean that you are required to read it, like it, want it, make it, eat it…
I absolutely love what u said I’m so tired of reading b/s on blogs.
