Deliciously rich and creamy homemade fudge popsicles made with simple pantry ingredients for a perfect summer treat.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole milk For best creamy texture, but 2% works too
- 1 cup Heavy cream Creates that real fudgesicle feel
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder For deep chocolate flavor
- 1 cup Chocolate chips or chopped chocolate For the fudge flavor
- 3/4 cup Sugar Adjust if you like it less sweet
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch Helps thicken for smoother freezing
- 1 pinch Salt Enhances chocolate flavor
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Optional but recommended
Instructions
Preparation
- In a small pot, whisk together sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt to prevent lumps.
- Slowly whisk in the milk and cream.
- Set the pot over medium heat and keep whisking until it starts to thicken, about 5 to 8 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the chocolate chips until melted and smooth.
- Stir in vanilla and let the mixture cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Pour into popsicle molds, add sticks, and freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
Notes
Popsicles freeze harder without stabilizers. For unmolding, run plastic molds under warm water for 10-20 seconds. Silicone molds should be peeled slowly.
