If you’re seeking a delicious treat to beat the heat, try making Hot Chocolate Popsicles. With a delightful blend of cream, milk, chocolate, cocoa, and vanilla, the popsicles are the perfect way to enjoy a classic flavor in a playful form.
Feel free to swap the cream for any vegan alternative you enjoy, like coconut or almond cream; it adds a lovely twist to flavor. If you’re sensitive to dairy, using low-fat milk or a plant-based milk works beautifully. Make sure to choose high-quality chocolate for a richer taste, and always check the labels if allergies are a concern.

Hot Chocolate Popsicles Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cream (I used a rice based vegan cream sub)
- 1 cup milk (low-fat is fine)
- 50 g chocolate, chopped (or use chocolate chips)
- 1/2 tablespoon cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine 1/2 cup cream, 1 cup milk, 50 g chopped chocolate, 1/2 tablespoon cocoa powder, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Heat over medium flame, stirring frequently until the chocolate melts completely.
- Once the chocolate is melted, reduce the heat to low and continue stirring the mixture every once in a while for about 5 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
- Pour the cooled mixture into popsicle molds, filling them about three-quarters full.
- Freeze the popsicles for at least 4 hours until solid.
- When you’re ready to enjoy, carefully remove the popsicles from the molds and indulge.
