How About A Coffee Popsicle?

Do you like popsicles?  Do you like coffee?  Well, check this out!  Now you can combine the two for a delicious summer treat.  Well, you could have always done this, but maybe you just didn’t think about it.  Here’s the good news, I’m going to tell you how to do it, but you will have to kind of tinker with the recipe to accommodate the popsicle molds that you are using.  There are so many different ones out there now, that it is impossible to come up with the precise recipe for every type of mold.  But play with it, and you’ll be quite impressed with the results.  Check it out….

What You Will Need

Mix up about 2 1/4 cups of cold coffee with cream and sugar to your liking. You'll need a little extra sweetened cream for the white tips of the pops.

• 1 3/4 --- 2 cups cold strong coffee
• 1/2 --3/4 cup heavy cream, plus extra for the bottom of the molds
• sugar to taste

Instructions

1. Set aside 1/3 cup of cream and sweeten it with a little sugar. Stir until completely dissolved.
2. Pour a little of the cream into the bottom of each mold, just about 1/4 to 1/2 inch high.
3. Freeze the mold until the cream is solid, about an hour.
4. Mix the coffee, more cream and sugar (to taste) in a glass measuring cup and stir until the sugar is dissolved. You will need about 2 1/4 cups total. Refrigerate until chilled.
5. Carefully pour the chilled coffee mixture into each mold, filling it to the top.
6. Cover the top with foil, and insert the sticks. Freeze until solid.
7. To un-mold the popsicles, fill your sink with hot water, and submerge the mold in the water right up to, but not past, the top ledge for about 15-30 seconds. If the popsicles don't slide out, submerge it for a few seconds longer.
