Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt.
Gradually pour in the milk and heavy cream, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook while stirring frequently until the mixture thickens slightly, about 7-10 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until fully melted and smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Let the mixture cool for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming on top.
Carefully pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small gap at the top to allow for expansion during freezing.
Insert popsicle sticks into the molds and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until solid.
To release the fudge pops, run the molds briefly under warm water to loosen them before gently pulling.
