There is only one thing to do when a mean craving for freshly baked Chocolate Chip Cookies hits in the middle of a summer heat wave; make Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Popsicles! Feel free to preheat your oven and get out the flour if you must...I'll be outside enjoying one of these sweet no-bake treats and cooling off.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Popsicles- adapted from this recipe
Makes 10 (2.5 oz.) Popsicles
Ingredients
2½ cups whole milk
⅓ cup light brown sugar, packed
⅓ cup granulated sugar
generous pinch of salt
3 tsp. pure vanilla extract
½ cup semi sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
1. Place milk, brown sugar, white sugar and salt in a small saucepan and cook stirring over low heat until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, let cool and stir in vanilla.
2. Divide half of the chocolate chips between the bottoms of your popsicle molds. (reserve the other half of the chips for later) Fill molds with milk mixture leaving a small amount of room on top.
3. Freeze until only partially frozen, about 2 hours. Remove from freezer and add the remaining half of the chips. Insert sticks and freeze until solid.

I think I have to get a popsicle mold. Although you can't find such molds you use in germany, I think. As always a nice post that makes me hungry.

I would try ordering popsicle molds online! You can find almost any shape and size. 🙂

This recipe made me smile. That simple, pure, childhood nostalgia but so much better kind of smile. I can't wait to make these.

Brilliant! I love the idea of getting my cookie fix without heating up the house with a hot oven.
Brianna says
Just made these - but I used mini chocolate chips. I think it made it easier to chew
freutcake says
I think that is a good idea! 😉
Mynn says
would it be necessary to use whole milk? or would 2% be ok?
freutcake says
Whole milk would be best for a creamier texture. 2% milk would work fine as well but might be a bit icier in texture.
