What ingredients you will need
- Fresh Whole Milk: Whole milk creates a creamy base for our popsicles. It adds richness and maintains a smooth texture. For a plant-based option, you can use coconut milk.
- Caster sugar: Caster sugar sweetens the popsicles. It readily dissolves in the milk mixture, but you can use granulated or vanilla sugar as an alternative.
- Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: The rich chocolate taste of our popsicles comes from the cocoa powder. For the best result, make sure it isn’t sweetened. Don’t mistake hot chocolate for cocoa powder because they are different.
- Dark chocolate: Dark chocolate provides depth and richness. Use high-quality dark chocolate for a delicious flavor.
- Heavy Cream: Whipped heavy cream thickens the chocolate mixture for a smooth consistency.

Use a hand or stand mixer to whip the heavy cream in a separate bowl. The cream will thicken, and bubbles will start appearing as you beat. After the cream becomes thick and keeps its shape, add the prepared chocolate mixture. Mix them with a whisk until a creamy, smooth consistency is achieved.
3.Fill the Popsicle Molds
Pour the chocolate-cream mixture into each popsicle mold, leaving a small amount of space at the top. Fill each mold with a popsicle stick.
