During summers at a kid, I would ever so rarely, open up the freezer to find a box of Fudgesicles stashed between the frozen peas and carrots. It was always a special treat and one that never lasted long in our house. It’s that nostalgic memory of creamy, chocolately, fudge pops that had me jumping for joy at finding a recipe for this homemade version in the latest issue of Everyday Food. People, listen up…you haven’t tasted a fudge pop until you sink your teeth into one of these. Sweet-decadent-heaven-on-a-stick; that’s their new name.

makes 10
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 1/2 cups whole milk, divided
1 1/3 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together cornstarch and 2 tablespoons milk until smooth; whisk in remaining milk, cream, sugar, cocoa, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high, stirring constantly, and cook 1 minute.
2. Transfer to a large liquid measuring cup and stir in vanilla. Let cool slightly before pouring into ten 3-ounce popsicle molds. Freeze slightly (about 30 minutes) then remove and insert popsicle sticks. Freeze a until pops are solid, about 6 hours. Just before serving, briefly run molds under hot water to release pops.

Glorious looking! Even at 7:44 in the morning. Chocolate and coffee go together though, no? 😉

My grandkids would love to find these in the freezer next time they come. What popsickel maker did you use?

Hi Jan, I use a Frozen Ice Pop Maker by Norpro. I bought it at a hardware store!

I’ve made a similar version from Smitten Kitchen, and they turned out so well. I’ll have to try these next! I was never a fan of the store bought variety, but homemade fudgesicles have converted me.

Can I ask where you bought your moulds – is it somewhere online? Hard to find this style in Australia.
