Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
-
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-
1/2 cup granulated sugar
-
Pinch of salt
-
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Wet Ingredients
-
2 1/2 cups whole milk
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
-
Whisk Dry Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, whisk together cocoa powder, sugar, salt, and cornstarch until no lumps remain. -
Add Milk Gradually
Slowly whisk in the milk to create a smooth, lump-free mixture. -
Cook Until Thickened
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 7–10 minutes). -
Add Butter and Vanilla
Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla until fully melted and smooth. -
Cool Slightly
Allow the mixture to cool for about 10–15 minutes before pouring into molds. -
Pour and Freeze
Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, insert sticks, and freeze for at least 4–6 hours or overnight. -
Unmold and Serve
To release fudgesicles, run warm water over the outside of the molds and gently remove.
Notes
For an ultra-smooth texture, strain the mixture before pouring it into the molds. You can substitute the milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk for a dairy-free option. Add-ins like chocolate chips or nut butters can be swirled in before freezing for extra flavor.
