Easy Chocolate Popsicle Recipe

Homemade Chocolate Popsicles are super easy to make. These fudge pops are decadent and refreshing. Your family will go crazy over these.

Homemade Chocolate Popsicles

My kids love fudge pops so I thought I would try to make this homemade recipe. I never cared for all those hard to pronounce ingredients in the store bought version. This recipe only has a few ingredients and I feel better about giving these to my children.

I thought the entire recipe was really fast and easy. It did not take hardly any time to mix these together.

I suppose the true test would be the kids. They all declared these so delicious and full of flavor. Everyone agreed these taste a ton better than what I had been buying at the grocery store.

The chocolate is richer and the flavor is much more intense. Chocolate fans definitely want to try this recipe.

It is the perfect frozen treat to enjoy when you want something sweet. Plus, it is healthier than ice cream.

Let’s get started making chocolate popsicles.

Ingredients: 

• Whole Milk 
• Heavy Cream
• Water 
• Unsweetened Cocoa Powder 
• Sugar 
• Flour 

Just a few simple ingredients and you can make these wonderful chocolate popsicles.

How to make Chocolate Popsicles: 

• Combine all of the ingredients in a large sauce pan.  Use a whisk to mix everything together. Allow this mixture to heat over medium heat. 

• Let the mixture boil. Continue to heat for 2 to 3 minutes boiling. 

• Allow to cool. Remove from the heat so the mixture can cool slightly.  You do not want it to be boiling hot when poured into the molds.

• Divide the mixture between the popsicle molds. Once you have poured the chocolate mixture evenly in the molds, add the popsicle sticks.

• Freeze the popsicles. This normally takes about 4 to 6 hours after you pour into popsicle molds and freeze. I prefer to freeze them overnight to make sure they are frozen solid.

How long to homemade popsicles last?

The Popsicles can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.  You can leave them in the molds or take them out.

If you remove from the molds, place inside an airtight freezer container or bag. This is easier if you have children so they can just enjoy one when ready.

Otherwise, you will have to remove from the mold each time. When I first started making homemade popsicles, I just left them in the molds.

I quickly learned with kids it is easier to remove them all and place in a bag or container.

How to remove popsicles from molds?

Run the popsicle mold under warm water. Only do this a few seconds or you risk melted the popsicle mixture.

This should help to make it easier to remove the popsicle from the mold.

Just don’t use hot water or it will quickly melt the popsicles and make a really big mess.

Variation ideas:

• You can substitute milk for the cream in this recipe. Just note that it will not be as creamy.  

• Substitute Dark chocolate cocoa powder for a new flavor twist. This is so rich and decadent.

• If you need a dairy free option, use almond milk or coconut milk instead of the milk.

• Try adding mix-ins to the recipe. Banana and peanut butter are delicious with chocolate. Add to taste and blend with the other ingredients.

• Canned coconut cream is a delicious substitute for dairy and will make these popsicles so creamy and rich.

• Add ¼ cup chocolate chips or melted chocolate for even more chocolate flavor.

• Greek yogurt is another option for these popsicles but it will not be as creamy as using heavy cream or coconut milk.

This recipe is very easy to adapt based on what you have on hand or your dietary preference. You can easily add healthy fats, mix ins and more.

Your family will love this treat.

Skip the ice cream truck and make this rich and decadent treat at home. It is so yummy and will definitely be a hit.

Not only will you save a bunch of money but get a better treat. It just has so much more chocolate flavor than store bought.

The boxes at the store can be pricey and they don’t taste near as good. Make these instead for a great treat at home.

My kids eat this pretty fast so I like to make a double batch. Since they last up to 3 months in the freezer, they won’t go to waste.

Make these today for a wonderful treat the entire family will enjoy. It is so yummy and super easy to make.
