Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.333 cup cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt.
Slowly add the whole milk and heavy cream, whisking continuously to dissolve the dry ingredients.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring until they are completely melted and smooth.
Mix in the vanilla extract and stir to combine.
Let the chocolate mixture cool for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
Once cooled, pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small amount of space at the top to allow for expansion as the popsicles freeze.
Insert popsicle sticks into the molds and freeze for at least 6 hours or until completely solid.
To remove the popsicles, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen them, then gently pull the popsicles out.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade fudgesicles!
