Best Homemade Chocolate Popsicles

Recipe by Bailey Sissom

Homemade Chocolate Popsicles are the perfect treat on hot Summer days. This recipe requires only 5 minutes prep, uses simple ingredients and has the most delicious chocolate flavor. 

  • Total Time0 hours
  • Yield6 (varies based on mold size) 1x

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
