Most of us need coffee and caffeine to get through the day, but on these hot summer days, who wants to be sipping on a sizzling beverage? This time of year is all about keeping cool and what better way to do so than by indulging in popsicles! If only we could combine the two….
Emily Schuman of Cupcakes and Cashmere has found a way! Mix the two favorites together and you have Cappuccino Pops!
To get started gather up these ingredients:
-3/4 cup heavy cream
-1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
-1 1/2 cups plus 2 tbsp. brewed espresso, at room temperature
-2 teaspoons dark unsweetened cocoa powder, plus more for dusting
You’re almost there, just a few easy steps!
1. Combine the cream and 1/4 cup condensed milk. Divide the mixture among the molds. Freeze until almost solid, about 1 hour.
2. Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk together the espresso, 2 tsp. cocoa powder and the remaining 1/4 cup condensed milk; refrigerate until cold.
3. Divide the mixture among the molds. Insert the ice-pop sticks, piercing the cream layer; freeze until solid, about 4 hours. Run warm water over the molds to remove the pops; dust the cream layer with more cocoa powder.
ENJOY! 🙂
