Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and cornstarch until well combined.
Step 2
Gradually whisk in the whole milk until all the dry ingredients are dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook while whisking continuously. Heat the mixture until it begins to simmer and thickens to a pudding-like consistency. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
Step 5
Allow the mixture to cool slightly for about 10 minutes before pouring it into popsicle molds.
Step 6
Carefully pour the chocolate mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top to allow for expansion as they freeze.
Step 7
Insert sticks into the molds and transfer them to the freezer.
Step 8
Freeze the popsicles for at least 4-6 hours or until they are fully frozen.
Step 9
To release the popsicles, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds and gently pull them out.
Step 10
Serve immediately or store in the freezer in an airtight container for up to one month.
