Ingredients
Mocha Base
- 1/2 cup Milk condensed
- 1 cup Milk whole
- 1 tsp Coffee Powder add more for a stronger coffee flavor.
- 1 tsp Corn Flour
Instructions
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the whole milk and condensed milk. Whisk until well combined.
- Add the coffee powder to the milk mixture and whisk thoroughly to ensure it dissolves completely.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch with a tablespoon of the milk mixture to create a slurry. This prevents lumps from forming when added to the warm milk.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat. Slowly pour in the cornstarch slurry while whisking constantly. Continue to whisk until the mixture comes to a gentle simmer and thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mocha base cool slightly, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
- In a small bowl, combine the chopped chocolate, walnuts, and raisins.
- Fill your popsicle molds about two-thirds full with the mocha base. Add a spoonful of the chocolate-nut-raisin mixture to each mold, gently pressing it down.
- Tap the molds on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles. Insert the popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 7 hours, or preferably overnight, until solid.
- To easily remove the popsicles, dip the molds briefly in warm water for about 30 seconds. Gently pull on the sticks to release the popsicles.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For a kid-friendly caffeine-free version, replace the coffee powder with roasted chicory powder or simply use extra cocoa powder for a rich chocolate popsicle.
- To add a fun, crunchy texture, dip the unmolded popsicles in melted chocolate and immediately roll them in finely chopped roasted nuts or even crushed cornflakes before serving.
- If you prefer extra creaminess, blend in 1-2 tablespoons of cream cheese or Greek yogurt with the milk mixture before freezing—this creates a luxurious, cheesecake-like texture.
- Layer the popsicle molds with alternating bands of mocha mixture and a white chocolate or plain milk mixture for a beautiful striped effect and extra visual appeal.
Expert Tips
- For a more intense mocha flavor, use a dark roast coffee powder or even a shot of espresso.
- If you don't have popsicle molds, you can use small paper cups and insert wooden sticks or spoons once the mixture is partially frozen.
- To easily unmold the popsicles, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds.
Storage Instructions
- Store the popsicles in an airtight container or freezer bag in the freezer for up to 2 months.
