I think the chocolate chips work as a thickening agent, so if you don't use them you might end up with more of a pudding.

GOOD chocolate chips are cocoa butter, cocoa, and sugar... all vegan ingredients so you should be safe.

Dutched cocoa is processed with alkalai, the source of which may be difficult to determine - but I can't think of any animal sources for alkalai...

I would use both the cocoa powder, the liquid chocolate, and some corn starch to thicken. You need to cook the cornstarch and the cocoa powder until it starts to thicken, and becomes clear, then add everything else, wisk together, put in a mold, and refrig. I think that should work.
The worst that can happen is pudding, and if you get chocolate pudding, go buy strawberrys or rasberrys or banannas to fold in or put on top.
Good luck!
