Hey, everyone! Lately where me and Koko live it has been close to 100 degrees, and it's really hard to keep cool! Yesterday I was experimenting with popsicle recipes, and I made a chocolate one that didn't have as much flavor as I would've wanted. I tried changing it a bit, and this is what I came up with. It is really yummy, and perfect for hot weather like today! Happy eating! (Or, should I say, Happy Freezing!) :)
Nutmeg's Chocolate Ice Cream Bar
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
3/4 tsp. cocoa powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2-3/4 tsp. chocolate extract
dash of salt
Combine the milk and heavy whipping cream together in a microwave safe bowl. Add cocoa powder and microwave for about 10-15 seconds, so the cocoa powder mixes in better.
Add in the sugar and salt, then add chocolate extract until it's flavored the way you like it. (I used about 1/2-3/4 tsp, but it may vary for different people) Caution: Chocolate extract can be very strong, so be careful with it! Mix it all together well, then pour into a popsicle mold. Let it freeze for a few hours, or until firm. Make sure it is thoroughly frozen, or it will make a big mess! Enjoy! :)

Note from Nutmeg: This recipe makes only one ice cream bar, but you can change it to make as many as you want.) :)
Where on earth do you get chocolate extract?!
ReplyDeleteI don't remember where we got it...I think at Hy-Vee or something like that.
DeleteIt is about 100 degrees here today. I wish I had time to make it. ~Abby
DeleteI have to admit I have never heard of it either. ~Abby
DeleteThey actually sell it at Walmart now. :)
DeleteDo you remember where you got the popsicle molds from? ( Oops! I ended my question with a preposition!) ~Abby
DeletePretty sure it was Walmart.
DeleteThank you! I'm looking for good ones. We bought some from the dollar store and they work well, but, they were only a dollar, if you know what I mean. ~Abby
