These creamy freezer-door fudge pops with real chocolate are a quick, easy, and indulgent homemade chocolate treat perfect for hot days or last-minute cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk or heavy cream
  • 6 ounces (170 g) real dark or semi-sweet chocolate
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Finely chop 6 ounces (170 g) of real dark or semi-sweet chocolate into small pieces.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine 1 cup (240 ml) of whole milk or heavy cream with 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar and a pinch of salt. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling, with small bubbles forming around the edges.
  3. Remove from heat and immediately pour the hot cream mixture over the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl or keep it in the pan off the heat. Let it sit for a minute to soften the chocolate.
  4. Whisk gently in circles until the chocolate melts completely and the mixture is glossy and lump-free. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and mix briefly. The mixture should be thick but pourable.
  5. Carefully pour the fudge mixture into prepared popsicle molds, leaving a small gap at the top for expansion. Insert sticks.
  6. Place molds in the freezer for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm and creamy.
  7. To unmold, briefly run warm water on the outside of the molds for a few seconds (do not submerge), then gently pull the sticks.

Notes

Melt chocolate gently over low heat or use a double boiler to avoid burning. Whisk gently to avoid air bubbles. Freeze molds on a level surface. Wrap pops individually in parchment paper for longer storage to prevent freezer burn. If fudge is grainy, whisk in a splash of warm milk before freezing.
