Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Mini marshmallows (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, cocoa powder, and sugar over medium heat. Whisk constantly until the cocoa powder dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling (about 3-5 minutes).
Add in the chocolate chips and continue whisking until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Let the hot chocolate cool slightly to room temperature, about 5-7 minutes, to avoid melting the popsicle sticks during freezing.
Carefully pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small gap at the top for expansion as the popsicles freeze.
If desired, drop a few mini marshmallows into each mold for added texture and flavor.
Insert popsicle sticks into the molds and freeze for at least 6 hours, or until fully solidified.
To remove the popsicles, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds to loosen, then gently pull the popsicles out.
Enjoy your creamy, chocolatey frozen treat!
