FUDGESICLES


It was a nice hot summer day in Oakland, CA when little Miss Baker Collison had a brilliant idea. What was her idea you ask? Her idea was to do something other than sitting on the computer, her idea was to make fudgesicles. So when her mother got home she had a list all ready to go to the store to get the makings for her fudgesicles. When they returned from Safeway little Miss Baker Collison whipped up the fudgesicles and 4.5 hours later they were ready to try. Her and her family had a difficult time getting them out of the molds until they came up with the brilliant idea of running them under hot water and they were out in a second! Everyone instantly fell in love with them and they were gobbled down in seconds!

I got the recipe online and it was kind of hard to find because most just say to use packaged pudding so heres the recipe



Chocolate-Chocolate Fudge

makes 6 - 8 popsicles, depending on your mold

  • 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
  • 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • pinch salt
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup cocoa nibs


Procedure

  1. Place chopped chocolates into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
  2. Heat heavy cream, milk, sugar, cocoa powder and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk until cocoa is dissolved and mixture comes to a simmer. Remove from the heat and pour over the chocolate. Let stand for 1 minute, then whisk gently from the center until all chocolate is melted.
  3. Add in the vanilla extract.
  4. Allow to cool slightly, then divide the mixture evenly among the molds.
  5. Freeze for at least four hours or until solid.
