Ingredients

8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped fine
12 ounces (1 1/2 cups) heavy cream
8 ounces (1 cup) whole milk
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Special Equipment: Icepop molds

Place chopped chocolate into a medium glass mixing bowl. Set aside.

Combine heavy cream, milk, and cocoa powder in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk constantly until cocoa is dissolved and mixture comes to a simmer. Remove from the heat and pour over the chocolate. Let stand for 2 to 3 minutes and then whisk gently until all chocolate is melted. Whisk in the vanilla extract.

Divide the mixture evenly among the molds and place in the freezer. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until solid. Fudgepops can be held in the freezer for up to 1 week in an airtight container.

Really Good, but not what I was hoping for
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The first time I made these, I couldn't find bittersweet chocolate at my local megamart, so I bought semisweet. Mixing the... ingredients was super easy. However, the popsicles came out really grainy, even though the mixture was velvety smooth when I poured it in the molds. And I thought they were a little too bitter (and I am a chocoholic). This time I bought straight up milk chocolate, melted it in the microwave, then poured the milk on it, and I am going to refrigerate them over night and then put them in the freezer. Maybe that will help with the texture? I was kind of disappointed with this recipe, even though they are still really good, just missing the velvety smooth texture.Read more

Awful popsicles.
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I followed the recipe exactly and they came out grainy and gross. They aren't sweet at all (is the recipe missing sugar?). ... I've even seen the episode with Alton Brown making these. The cocoa seems to be suspended in the mixture and the texture is strange. It was all blended and smooth before freezing.Read more

Bitter
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I followed the recipe exactly...even weighed my ingredients (Alton would be proud). I used Giardelli bittersweet chocolate. ... They turned out way too bitter. I have 7 fudgepops in the freezer now that nobody will eat. Has anyone tried these using semi-sweet chocolate?Read more

Good but grainy
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

While these had an incredible chocolate taste, they were a bit grainy. My husband thought it was caused by the cocoa powder.... I used Dutch process unsweetened cocoa powder, so maybe regular cocoa powder will produce a smoother result. Anyone have a recommendation? I will definitely try these again.Read more
