Pudding Pops

I'm a sucker for ice cream, especially when it's super hot out, like it has been for the past few days.  Sometimes, I don't want a bowl of ice cream, sometimes I just want something more portable.  That's why I got these!

They are ice cream pop molds, with a handy straw for when the cold goodie begins to melt.  I decided to make chocolate pops!

So I used half a recipe of my chocolate ice cream, so 1 1/2 cups half and half

With 1/2 cup of heavy cream

And 1/4 cup of cocoa powder.

Whisk to combine and bring to a simmer.

In another bowl I whisked up 4 egg yolks with 1/2 cup of white sugar.

Combine and bring to a simmer until the mixture coats the back of a spoon.

Stash in the fridge overnight.

I made these the following morning so they could be ready when I got home from work.

It's as easy as pour

cap

and stash!

A few hours later I took them out to enjoy.

And it didn't work!

So I used drastic measures.


Good enough.

This could have turned out better.  Maybe if I churned it in the ice cream maker and then put it in molds it would be been better, or maybe if I didn't buy pop molds for $1 at the grocery store, but oh well.  They tasted good anyway!
