Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 0.25 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, and cornstarch until well combined.
Gradually pour in the milk and cream, whisking to ensure there are no lumps.
Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to simmer. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Whisk until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly for 10-15 minutes at room temperature.
Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small amount of space at the top of each mold for expansion.
Insert popsicle sticks and freeze the molds for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully set.
To remove the fudgesicles, run the molds briefly under warm water to loosen them, then gently pull them out.
Serve immediately or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 weeks.
