Chocolate Coconut Fudgesicles (Print Version)

Cold, chocolatey fudgesicles with coconut milk and dark chocolate that seriously hit that craving for a lighter frozen snack.

# Ingredients:

→ Base

01 - 180 ml whole milk, 2%, or your favorite unsweetened plant milk (skip the nonfat stuff)
02 - 1 can (about 400 ml) full-fat coconut milk or a rich coconut cream

→ Chocolate Components

03 - 225 g dark chocolate (go for 70% cacao or higher), roughly chopped
04 - 3 tablespoons (around 18 g) unsweetened Dutch cocoa powder

# Steps:

01 - Go ahead and fill your popsicle molds with the chocolatey mixture. Hanging onto horizontal molds? Let the mixture chill at room temp for about 10 minutes, just until it thickens a bit.
02 - Put those filled molds right into your freezer. They'll need at least 6 hours in there, or until they're firm all the way. Take them out of the molds only when you're ready to eat.
03 - Drop in the chopped chocolate while your mixture is hot. Keep whisking until everything's smooth and glossy.
04 - Set your saucepan over medium-low. Give it a whisk every so often and heat gently until tiny bubbles just start to show. As soon as it simmers, turn off the heat right away.
05 - Grab a medium heavy-bottomed pot. Grab your coconut milk or cream, your milk, plus the cocoa powder, and whisk them together so you don't see any lumps left.

# Notes:

01 - Better chocolate really does make a difference—try to pick one that's 70% or higher cacao for best flavor and texture.
