hot chocolate popsicles are the PERFECT winter treat!
Yes, I know I’ve done hot chocolate popsicles before. Twice, actually (in fact, one of them was my first post ever!).
I’ve also done hot chocolate cookies (regular AND Mexican) and muddy buddies too.
But I had an idea for this variation, and who’s gonna argue with a third hot chocolate popsicle???
What I wanted here was a stronger combination of the three components that make up a proper hot chocolate – the hot chocolate (obviously), whipped cream and marshmallows. So for this version I swirled homemade hot chocolate with whipped cream for the pops, then coated them with marshmallow fluff.
Which I then torched, natch.
SO SO GOOD. And with only six ingredients incredibly easy too! I know that I typically save my popsicle recipes for summertime, but let’s face it – is there ever NOT a good time for a popsicle? Let me know if you make ’em, and tag me on Instagram @sherisilver if you do!!!
2 cups heavy cream, divided
4 tablespoons sugar, divided
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
pinch of kosher salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
marshmallow fluff
In a small saucepan combine 1 cup of the heavy cream, 2 tablespoons of the sugar, the cocoa powder and salt. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until the ingredients are smooth. Once simmering, remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of the vanilla. Pour mixture through a sieve into a spouted measuring cup and refrigerate till no longer warm.
Whip the remaining cup of cream, 2 tablespoons of sugar and remaining teaspoon of vanilla till just thickened.
Starting with the whipped cream layer with the hot chocolate mixture into your popsicle molds (this is my favorite). Rap to level, insert your popsicle sticks and freeze overnight.
To release the pops, hold molds briefly under hot water. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet and return to freezer to firm up for a bit.
Working with one pop at a time, coat with the marshmallow fluff, using a small angled spatula or the back of a spoon. Use a kitchen torch to brown the fluff; return the pops to the freezer till ready to serve.

How many does this make? It barely filled 4 of my popsicle molds?
It really depends on the size of your molds. Mine, I believe, hold 3 ounces each. I think I got 10 – 12 popsicles, using my molds (which I link to in the post)!
