If you are a hazelnut lover, this truly decadent treat is for you. These popsicles deliver an indulgent hazelnut cream, plus the satisfying crunch of candied hazelnuts. They’re creamy, loaded with hazelnut flavor, and packed with healthy fats, making them a wholesome yet scrumptious dessert. Best of all? They’re gluten-free, refined sugar-free, paleo and secretly vegan. I wanted to make this popsicle flavor because I kept buying hazelnut popsicles from a vegan ice cream brand I love. It’s a hazelnut cream stuffed with candied cashews in a chocolate sauce. They are incredibly delicious, but then I thought, why not make them myself? My version is just as scrumptious but cheaper and definitely healthier. I also switched the cashews for more hazelnuts and, instead of a chocolate sauce, I candied them with a little bit of cacao powder. The result is nothing short of amazing. You won’t believe these luscious creamy popsicles are also vegan and wholesome. They were a bit hit with Juan and my family. Even my dad loved them, and he is not into healthy vegan food. So I know this healthy vegan dessert is going to win over even the most skeptical eaters. These creamy crunchy pops can also be a delicious gluten-free dessert for someone with gluten allergies or sensitivities. And did I mention they are super easy to make and only require 6 ingredients?! What’s not to love? **WHY YOU’LL LOVE THESE VEGAN HAZELNUT POPSICLES** **Super Creamy:** Thanks to a combination of roasted hazelnuts and coconut milk, these popsicles are irresistibly smooth and creamy. **Rich Hazelnut Flavor:** If you love the taste of hazelnuts, these popsicles are bursting with it. Think of a velvety hazelnut cream studded with candied hazelnuts. A dream come true. **Crunchy Candied Hazelnuts:** Adding candied hazelnuts to the mix gives these popsicles the perfect texture contrast, with bits of sweet crunch in every bite. **Wholesome Ingredients:** Made with natural sweeteners and no refined sugars, these treats are as healthy as they are delicious. Plus, they’re gluten-free! **Easy to Make:** You only need a few ingredients and less than 20 minutes to whip up this vegan treat. Minimal effort, maximum satisfaction. **INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED** **Roasted shelled hazelnuts:** This is the base of the popsicles and the crunchy filling. I recommend buying roasted shelled hazelnuts, I really don’t recommend doing this at home. I tried roasting them and removing the skin myself and ended up with a gritty ice cream filled with soggy candied hazelnuts. I know roasted hazelnuts cost a bit more, but they are worth it. **Coconut Milk:** Full-fat -canned- coconut milk makes these popsicles ultra-creamy and decadent. Light coconut milk is not going to give you the same richness. **Coconut Nectar or Maple Syrup:** A natural sweetener that complements the hazelnut flavor perfectly. I always use coconut nectar, but feel free to use maple syrup instead. **Vanilla Extract:** A dash of vanilla enhances the overall flavor. **THE PERFECT SUMMER TREAT** These vegan hazelnut popsicles are the ultimate summer treat—perfectly creamy, subtly sweet, and crunchy in all the right places. Whether you’re vegan or not, everyone is bound to fall in love with these wholesome popsicles. With only a handful of ingredients and minimal prep time, they’re the perfect make-ahead dessert for hot summer days.
