Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (14 fluid ounces / 414 milliliters) full-fat coconut milk
- 8 ounces (226 grams) dark chocolate, chopped
- ¾ cup (6 fluid ounces / 177 milliliters) milk
Chocolate and Flavor Enhancers:
- 3 tablespoons (15 grams) unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder
Sweeteners and Additional Ingredients:
(None in this recipe)
Instructions
- Craft a velvety base by whisking coconut milk, milk, and cocoa powder in a heavy-bottom saucepan until uniformly blended.
- Gently heat the mixture over medium-low flame, stirring intermittently, until it reaches a delicate simmer.
- Remove the pan from heat and introduce chopped dark chocolate, continuously whisking until the chocolate dissolves completely and creates a silky, homogeneous liquid.
- If using vertical molds, immediately transfer the chocolate elixir directly into popsicle forms.
- For horizontal molds, allow the mixture to rest and slightly thicken at room temperature for approximately 10 minutes before pouring.
- Position the filled molds in the freezer, ensuring a flat surface for even freezing.
- Permit the popsicles to solidify thoroughly, which typically requires 6-8 hours of undisturbed freezing.
- Once fully frozen, carefully extract the popsicles from their molds by running briefly under warm water if needed.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the rich, creamy chocolate coconut treat, savoring the smooth texture and intense flavor profile.
Notes
- Opt for high-quality dark chocolate to enhance the rich, indulgent flavor of these creamy popsicles.
- Coconut milk creates a luxuriously smooth texture and adds a subtle tropical sweetness to the frozen treat.
- Whisking cocoa powder thoroughly prevents lumps and ensures a silky, consistent chocolate base.
- Freezing time is crucial; allow at least 6 hours for perfect set and maximum enjoyment.
- Use silicone or non-stick popsicle molds for easy removal without breaking the frozen treats.
- Cool the chocolate mixture slightly before pouring into molds to prevent ice crystals and maintain a creamy consistency.
