Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 cup Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 cups Low-fat milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.
Gradually whisk in the low-fat milk, ensuring there are no lumps and the mixture is smooth.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts to thicken, about 5-7 minutes.
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Let the chocolate mixture cool for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
Pour the cooled mixture into popsicle molds, distributing evenly among the molds.
Insert sticks into the molds and freeze for at least 4 hours or until completely solid.
To release the popsicles, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds to loosen them.
Enjoy your low-fat creamy chocolate popsicles as a delightful and healthy treat!
