Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.25 cup Cocoa powder
• 0.5 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Mini marshmallows (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, cocoa powder, and sugar over medium heat. Whisk constantly until the cocoa powder dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling (about 3-5 minutes).

Step 2

Add in the chocolate chips and continue whisking until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Let the hot chocolate cool slightly to room temperature, about 5-7 minutes, to avoid melting the popsicle sticks during freezing.

Step 5

Carefully pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small gap at the top for expansion as the popsicles freeze.

Step 6

If desired, drop a few mini marshmallows into each mold for added texture and flavor.

Step 7

Insert popsicle sticks into the molds and freeze for at least 6 hours, or until fully solidified.

Step 8

To remove the popsicles, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds to loosen, then gently pull the popsicles out.

Step 9

Enjoy your creamy, chocolatey frozen treat!
