Chocolaty-Fudge Pops
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons semisweet chocolate
chips or chopped semisweet chocolate

powder
1 1/4 cups whole milk
Pinch of salt, to taste
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
Directions:
In the bottom of a medium saucepan over
very low heat, gently melt the chocolate
chips, stirring constantly until smooth
and fully melted.
Stir in sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder,
milk and salt and raise heat to medium.
Cook this mixture, stirring frequently
until it thickens, anywhere between 5 to
10 minutes.
Remove from heat, add vanilla and
butter and stir until combined.
Set aside to cool slightly then pour into
popsicle molds.
Freeze 30 minutes, then insert popsicle
sticks.
Freeze the rest of the way before
serving.
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine
raspberries, blackberries and sliced
strawberries with the lemon juice and
mint.
Mash the berries with the back of a large
wooden spoon or spatula.
Let this mixture sit for about a half hour
to fully macerate.
Meanwhile, combine the sugar and
water in a small saucepan and simmer
until the sugar is dissolved.
Let cool for about five minutes, then
combine with the berry mixture.
Using a glass measuring cup with a
spout, carefully pour the berry mixture
into your popsicle molds.
Freeze for six hours.
If your popsicles stick to the molds, hold
them under warm running water to
loosen.
Directions:
In a heavy saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups
milk and the cornstarch.
Bring to a boil over med-high heat and
cook, stirring occasionally, until the
mixture has thickened, approximately 7
to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk
together the last 1/2 cup of milk, the
whole egg and the yolks, sugar and salt.
Using a knife, scrape the seeds from the
vanilla bean halves into the bowl and

If using sticks, insert them into the molds
when they are part frozen, about 1 hour.
Then continue to freeze until solid, about
5 more hours.
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the rice and
two cups water.
Let the mixture sit overnight. (It’s not
necessary to refrigerate.)
The next day, blend the rice and water
thoroughly in a blender until smooth.

placed inside a fine colander or sieve.
Use a spoon to coax the liquid through
the mesh.
While the liquid is draining, make a
quick simple syrup.
Combine the sugar with the remaining
three tablespoons of water.
You can warm it quickly in the
microwave or simmer until just
dissolved in a small saucepan.
Once the rice water has drained,
combine it with the simple syrup, ground
cinnamon and Greek yogurt. You’ll want
to blend this thoroughly, so that
everything emulsifies nicely and the
cinnamon and yogurt don’t separate
while freezing.
Pour the horchata mixture into your ice
pop molds.
Freeze for about six hours, before
enjoying cold.
