Ingredients

Units Scale
For the fudgesicles:
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons instant espresso powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
For the garnish:
  • 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut, toasted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the fudgesicle mixture (10 minutes):
    • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, heavy cream, sugar, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and a pinch of salt.
    • Cook, stirring continuously, until the mixture is well combined and just starts to simmer. Remove from heat.
    • Stir in the vanilla extract and let the mixture cool slightly.
  2. Fill the molds (5 minutes):
    • Pour the cooled mixture into fudgesicle molds. If you don’t have fudgesicle molds, you can use small paper cups and popsicle sticks.
    • Freeze until the mixture is just beginning to set (about 1 hour), then insert popsicle sticks. Continue to freeze until completely solid, approximately 4-5 hours or overnight.
  3. Prepare the garnishes (5 minutes):
    • When ready to serve, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave or over a double boiler until smooth.
    • Toast the shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown, being careful not to burn it.
  4. Unmold and garnish (5 minutes):
    • Run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds to loosen the fudgesicles.
    • Carefully remove the fudgesicles from the molds.
    • Drizzle with melted chocolate and immediately sprinkle with toasted shredded coconut.
  5. Serve (1 minute):
    • Serve the fudgesicles immediately after garnishing, or place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and return them to the freezer to set the chocolate drizzle for a few minutes.

Notes

These homemade espresso fudgesicles are a true gourmet treat that combines the comfort of chocolate with the kick of espresso.

For an even richer experience, consider using dark chocolate in both the fudgesicle mixture and for drizzling.

Experimenting with different types of milk (such as almond or coconut milk) can also add new dimensions of flavor.

These fudgesicles are perfect for entertaining or as a luxurious way to cool down on a warm day. Enjoy!
