Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt.
Gradually add the milk while whisking constantly to create a smooth mixture.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to thicken, about 5-7 minutes.
Once the pudding thickens, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until they are completely melted and the pudding is smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and stir to combine.
Let the pudding cool slightly before pouring it into popsicle molds. Tap the molds gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Insert popsicle sticks into the molds and place them in the freezer.
Freeze for at least 6 hours or until solid.
To remove the pops from the molds, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen, then gently pull the pops out.
Serve immediately or store in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
