Sometimes i think about all the different food and treats we buy from the store and wonder if i can duplicate it. One of the treats my husband LOVES in summer is his fudgesicles.
The first thing that came to mind is how good that chocolate pudding pie tasted i made back in May.
So i switched out the milk for half and half cream and put in a little less cornflour and whipped up a batch to see what would happen when i froze it!
3 cups Half & Half cream
1/4 cup cocoa
1/3 cup cornflour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Mix together cornflour, cocoa, sugar in a large saucepan.
Gradually add the cream until the mixture is thoroughly mixed.
Slowly bring to a boil, stirring constantly, over a low to medium heat.
Once the mixture thickens a little and becomes velvety smooth, take it off the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Pour into your popsicle moulds and pop into the freezer.
If you use cups, let them freeze for 2-3 hours then stick in your popsicle sticks.

This made 12 popsicles for me using average sized moulds.
They turned out a treat! A bit melty but very chocolately, creamy and super summer sticky!
I think these will be a hit in this house! =)

Oh - these look dreamy! Do you mind me asking what is half and half cream? It must be called something else here.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! I have only just discovered half and half cream since i have been in Canada, it is 10% fat milk/cream used for coffees mostly =)
