🍫 Homemade Chocolate Fudgesicles 🍦
Ingredients
1 cup whole milk
½ cup heavy cream
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
A pinch of fine sea salt
Optional: 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips or finely chopped nuts for added texture
Instructions
Create the Chocolate Base: In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk continuously over medium-low heat until the mixture becomes smooth and the sugar dissolves completely. Avoid boiling—just warm it enough to meld the flavors.
Infuse Flavor: Once the mixture is smooth, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before proceeding.
Enhance Texture (Optional): For a delightful twist, gently fold in mini chocolate chips or finely chopped nuts. This step adds a fun crunch and elevates the overall experience.
Prepare for Freezing: Carefully pour the chocolate mixture into popsicle molds, filling each mold about ¾ of the way to allow for expansion. Insert popsicle sticks and tap the molds gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Freeze Until Solid: Place the molds in the freezer and let them set for at least 4-6 hours, or until the fudgesicles are completely firm.
Unmold & Savor: To release the fudgesicles, briefly run the molds under warm water for 10-15 seconds. Gently pull them out and enjoy the creamy, chocolatey goodness!
