Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Chocolate Base

Whisk together milk, sugar, cocoa, and dark chocolate in a saucepan over low heat until smooth. Cool to room temperature.

2. Whip the Heavy Cream

In a bowl, whip heavy cream until thick and fluffy. Fold in the cooled chocolate mixture until creamy.

3. Fill the Molds

Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, insert sticks, and leave a little space at the top.

4. Freeze the Popsicles

Cover and freeze overnight (or at least 4–5 hours).

5. Unmold & Enjoy

Dip molds in room-temperature water for a few seconds, then gently remove popsicles.

6. Optional: Chocolate Shell Coating

Dip frozen popsicles into melted chocolate chips mixed with coconut oil, then let the shell harden for a crunchy finish.

Serving & Storage Tips

• Enjoy straight from the freezer on hot summer days.
• Store in an airtight freezer bag to prevent freezer burn.
