7 Fabulous Homemade Popsicle Recipes to Try This Summer
Makes six to eight 8 oz. ice pops
For the chocolate section:
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee or espresso
8 oz. bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
In a medium saucepan, heat the cream and milk over medium-low heat. Whisk in the cocoa powder, salt, and coffee beans. When the cocoa powder has dissolved, and the mixture starts to steam, remove from heat and add the vanilla extract.
Place the chopped chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl and pour the warm cream mixture over it. Allow the chocolate to melt for a few minutes, and then whisk until smooth.
For the cheesecake section:
2 1/2 cups whole-milk yogurt
3 oz. cream cheese or Neufchatel
3/4 cup crushed graham crackers
1/3 cup honey
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dice up the cream cheese into small chunks, and whisk into the yogurt until smooth, though there will still be some larger bits of cream cheese. Add the graham crackers, honey, lemon juice, and vanilla, and stir.
