Chocolate Freeze Pops Recipes

FROZEN CHOCOLATE-BANANA POPS

Steps:

• Break the bananas into chunks, and puree in a food processor until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add the cocoa powder, cream and maple syrup, and puree until combined. Spoon the banana mixture into ice-pop molds, and freeze until firm, 8 hours or overnight.
• Spread the peanuts on a plate. Run hot water over the ice pops to help loosen them, then unmold, roll them in the peanuts and serve (or keep them frozen on a parchment-lined baking sheet until ready to serve).

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE FROZEN FUDGE POPS

Steps:

• Combine the sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, and stir until thick, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla and butter. Transfer to a heatproof bowl, and refrigerate until cool, approximately 20 minutes.
• Stir the chocolate chips into the cooled chocolate mixture. Pour into molds and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.

HOT-COCOA ICE POPS

Steps:

• Follow directions for hot cocoa. Let cool slightly. Divide mixture evenly among fourteen 2 1/2-ounce ice-pop molds, seal with tops, insert sticks, and freeze until set, at least 6 hours (preferably overnight). Remove from molds. Serve immediately.

FUDGE POPS
