Coffee-Coco Popsicles

After a long time, the temperature has crossed 60 F and I'm so happy with the sunshine. This week had lots of sun and I couldn't wish for more. I finally switched off the heater and opened all the windows. Spring is here!!

The days are turning warmer and longer. Its the season of Ice-creams and Popsicles. :D

I had already planned for making some Popsicles at home when it was crazy cold here.

So yesterday, I got all the popsicle moulds out and decided to get my hands cold in the process. :D Considering my recent addiction to coffee, I thought of making some Coffee Popicles with a hint of Coco.

The outcome was superb! The smell of strong brewed coffee and taste of coffee-coco mix is absolutely irresistable. They turned so fab that you have to give it a try too!

Coffee-Coco Popsicles

Preparation Time: 10 mins
Cooking time: 15 mins
Serves: Makes 6 Popsicles

Coffee and coco popsicles are made from the very basic ingredients available in our kitchen. If you don't have moulds, you can still use shot glasses/simple glasses and candy sticks to get home-made popsicles. Coco powder can be replaced by Bournvita :) These Coffee-Coco popsicles look so beautiful yet simple to make.

Ingredients:

• 1 mug of strong brewed Coffee
• 2 tbsp of Coco powder(unsweetened)
• 5 tbsp of Condensed milk

Instructions:

1. Set the Popsicle moulds into the freezer.
2. Brew a mug of strong coffee. I have used McCafe Espresso.
3. Strain the Coffee and let it cool.
4. In a mug, add the condensed milk.
5. Add brewed coffee to the milk and stir. This will be light Coffee
6. Take another mug and add some coffee to it.
7. Add coco powder to that mug of coffee. This will be darker than the previous one so -Dark coffee.
8. Check to see the sweetness.Add some sugar or honey if needed.
9. Remove the moulds from the freezer and fill in the Dark Coffee first.
10. The Dark coffee should be filled 1/3 of the mould.
11. Cover the moulds and let the Coffee Popsicles sit for  hours into the freezer.
12. After 2 hours, add light Coffee to fill the rest of the moulds.
13. Insert sticks into each mould and place them in the freezer.
14. Let the Popsicles sit for 3-4 hours.
15. After 3-4 hours, remove the Popsicles. Hold each of the Popsicle under running warm water or late it stand at room temperature for some time.
16. Slowly remove the Popsicle from the mould.
17. Now sit back , relax and have coffee popsicles!
