Mocha Popsicles

Mocha Popsicles

Be the first to review!
You could call these Maple Mocha Popsicles the ideal frozen confection for a hot day. They are creamy, layered affairs built on a chocolate milk foundation with a strong coffee layer in between and finished off with a sweet vanilla cream. Since each part is frozen on its own, you get a nice striped effect and a mocha flavor that is as rich as it is refreshing, with just a hint of dessert to it. We like them because they are easy to put together in advance and hit the spot when you are in the mood for some chocolate and coffee.

Notes

  1. Use strong coffee so the flavor still comes through after freezing.
  2. For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream in the final layer.
