My kids love fudge pops so I thought I would try to make this homemade popsicle recipe. The chocolate is richer, and the flavor is much more intense than store bought. Chocolate fans definitely want to try this recipe and also Dairy Queen Buster Bar Recipe.

It is the perfect frozen treat to enjoy when you want something sweet. Plus, it is healthier than ice cream. If you want something fruity, try Mango Popsicles Recipe, Cherry Popsicles or Lime Popsicles. For a creamy treat, make Banana Popsicles and Blueberry Popsicles.

Why We Love This 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.

Everyone agreed this Easy Chocolate Popsicle Recipe taste much better than anything at the grocery store. Homemade fudge pops are creamy with the perfect amount of sweetness.

Ingredients

Ingredients for CHOCOLATE POPSICLES. - milk, cream, cocoa powder, water, floru.
  • Whole Milk. Whole Milk will result in the richest taste, but you can substitute reduced fat milk if you prefer.
  • Heavy Cream. This gives the popsicles such great flavor.
  • Unsweetened Cocoa Powder. Make sure to use unsweetened.

Scroll to the very bottom and get the complete ingredients.

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.

How to Make Chocolate Popsicles

Chocolate mixture combined in pan.

Step 1. Combine all of the ingredients in a large saucepan with a whisk. Then allow the mixture to boil for 2 to 3 minutes.

Popsicles frozen on a platter.

Step 2. Next, remove from the heat so the mixture can cool slightly.  Divide the mixture between the popsicle molds and add the popsicle sticks. Freeze the popsicles 4 to 6 hours but I prefer overnight.

Storage

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. I prefer to separate the chocolate fudge pops with parchment paper.

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.

Pro Tips

  • Enjoy the popsicles right away. As soon you remove them from the freezer, eat the popsicles. Easy Chocolate Popsicle Recipe melts quickly.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil. It’s important to allow the mixture to boil and heat for 2-3 minutes.
  • Freeze for at least 4 hours. The popsicles need time to completely harden. I recommend freezing for a minimum of 4 hours but overnight is best.
  • Continuously whisk while heating. Make sure to stir the mixture constantly when heating. You don’t want it to stick.

    Thank you so much for this recipe. It’s my favorite chocolate popsicle recipe and I make it all the time. I use flat molds and I just sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top. Also my mom likes to add instant coffee with milk to this recipe as well and she loves it. 🌟
