About Coffee Popsicle

Coffee Popsicle is a simple dessert made with coffee decoction and milk, often made at home during summer as it does not need much preparation time. Recipe uses basic ingredients and comes together quickly without much effort. It is a nice choice when you want something cold and homemade.

The texture of this popsicle is creamy with slight icy finish that feels good. Coffee gives rich flavour while condensed milk adds sweetness and smooth texture. Milk balances everything and makes flavour mellower. Once frozen it comes out well with mild coffee taste in every bite. 

You can adjust coffee based on how strong you like it, you can add little cocoa powder for different flavour. It can also be made without creating layers and still tastes good. You can just mix everything together and freeze it. It turns out nice either way.

I usually make this when I have some boiled milk left over at home. My family likes mild coffee flavour and creamy texture. It gets finished quite fast, especially during summer evenings when everyone wants something cold.

2.Take water in a sauce pan. Add instant coffee powder to water.

5.Meanwhile take boiled milk(after cooling) add condensed milk to it. Mix well.

6.Add remaining coffee decoction to it. The quantity depends no how strong you want your popsicles to be. Mix it.

7.Now pour the milk mixture. I wanted to have layered popsicles but as there was frequent powder cuts it got mixed up. Close with lid, insert ice cream sticks and freeze for 6-8 hours or overnight. Then while serving time, show the mould under running tap water or dip it in a bowl containing water. Carefully pull out the popsicles.

Serve immediately.

Expert Tips

• Coffee Strength - I usually adjust coffee quantity based on our preference. Add little extra if you like stronger coffee flavour.
• Cooling - I always cool coffee decoction fully before mixing. If it is still hot, milk mixture may not blend even.
• Layering - I freeze coffee layer first when making layered popsicles this helps layers stay separate and look better.
• Sweetness - I prefer tasting the mixture before pouring into moulds. Sometimes condensed milk itself gives enough sweetness. 
• Freezing Time - I make sure to freeze overnight whenever possible. This gives a firm texture and popsicles comes out well. 
• Unmoulding - I usually hold the mould under running water for few seconds, helps release the popsicle easily without breaking.
