Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.33 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chocolate chips. Continue stirring until the chocolate chips are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
Carefully pour the chocolate mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small amount of space at the top to allow for expansion as the mixture freezes.
Insert popsicle sticks into the molds. If your mold doesn’t have built-in slots for sticks, freeze the mixture for 1 hour before inserting the sticks so they stay in place.
Freeze the fudgesicles for at least 6 hours or until completely solid.
To remove the fudgesicles from the molds, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen them.
Serve immediately and enjoy this creamy, chocolatey treat!
