Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (360ml) whole milk
- ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream
- ½ cup (160g) sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup (85g) semi-sweet chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)
- 2 tablespoons (12g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Warm & Combine: In a saucepan over medium-low heat, warm 1 ½ cups (360ml) whole milk and ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream, then whisk in ½ cup (160g) sweetened condensed milk until fully combined.
- Melt & Mix: Add ½ cup (85g) semi-sweet chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons (12g) unsweetened cocoa powder, whisking constantly until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Flavor & Cool: Remove from heat, stir in ½ teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, then let the mixture cool slightly before pouring into popsicle molds.
- Freeze & Serve: Insert popsicle sticks and freeze until solid. To release, run warm water over the molds for a few seconds before serving.
Notes
Freezing & Preventing Freezer Burn: Once fully frozen, remove the popsicles from the mold and wrap each one individually in plastic wrap or parchment paper. Store them in an airtight container or a freezer-safe bag, pressing out excess air before sealing. This helps prevent freezer burn and keeps them fresh.
Shelf Life: These popsicles stay fresh for up to 3 months in the freezer. While they won’t go bad, the texture may become slightly icier over time.
Serving Tip: Let the popsicle sit at room temperature for 1-2 minutes before eating for the creamiest texture.
