Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Chocolate and Flavoring
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
- Simmer: In a large saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Heat over medium heat until the mixture comes to a light simmer, making sure not to boil. Immediately remove the pan from the heat once simmering stage is reached.
- Blend: Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips into a blender. Pour the hot milk mixture over the chocolate and let it sit for a couple of minutes to melt the chocolate. Then add the vanilla extract and fine sea salt, and blend until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Freeze: Pour the blended fudge mixture evenly into 8 ice pop molds. Freeze the molds for about 30 minutes, then insert wooden popsicle sticks into each mold. Continue freezing overnight or until the popsicles are completely frozen.
- Serve: To release the popsicles from the molds, run the bottom of the mold under warm water for a few seconds or let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes. Serve the fudge popsicles cold and enjoy.
Notes
- For creamier popsicles, use whole milk and full-fat cream as specified.
- If you don’t have a blender, stir the hot milk well with the chocolate chips until fully melted, then mix in vanilla and salt.
- Make sure not to boil the milk mixture to avoid scorching or curdling.
- Popsicles can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap.
- For a dairy-free alternative, swap milk and cream with coconut milk or almond milk, but note the flavor will differ.
