Ingredients
1 1/4 cups 2-percent milk
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons light agave nectar
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Directions
Special equipment:
Four 3- to 4-ounce ice pop molds- Combine the milk, chocolate, cocoa powder, agave and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan and set over medium-low heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until the chocolate melts and the cocoa dissolves, 6 to 8 minutes. Pour the chocolate mixture into a medium bowl. Stir in the chia seeds and vanilla. Let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
- Cover and refrigerate the mixture until chilled and the chia seeds are plumped, about 1 hour more, stirring halfway through.
- Divide the mixture evenly among four 3- to 4-ounce ice pop molds. Freeze until solid, at least 8 hours and up to overnight. Let sit at room temperature for a few minutes before unmolding.
- The pops will keep in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
