In a medium saucepan, whisk together the whole milk, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until smooth and no lumps remain.
Set the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly with a whisk or silicone spatula until the mixture begins to thicken, about 5-7 minutes.
Once thickened, add the semisweet chocolate chips and continue stirring until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract until well combined.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
Carefully pour the cooled mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small amount of room at the top for expansion as they freeze.
Insert popsicle sticks into the molds and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight, until the fudge pops are fully set.
To release the pops, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds and gently pull the popsicles out. Serve immediately and enjoy!
