Ingredients
Cream Cheese: To make creamy chocolate popsicles you will definitely want to add cream cheese! It’s filling, creamy and taste so luxurious!
Cream: You need cream or milk in order to mix the ingredients together.
Sweetener: I use a mixture of raw sugar and maple syrup. It gives these popsicles a lovely, sweet taste but not too sweet either.
Dark Chocolate: You will be melting dark chocolate; You can use chocolate chips, dark chocolate buttons or dark cooking chocolate. I prefer dark chocolate as it has a stronger taste thank milk chocolate and is healthier.
Vanilla: Vanilla always adds a beautiful depth of flavour.
Peppermint oil or flavouring: I use a pure peppermint oil and don’t mind adding it into my desserts. Only a couple drops are needed.
Supplies
Double boiler: To melt the dark chocolate
Popsicle moulds: Silicone ones are best as it’s easier to remove your popsicles without them breaking this way.
Bowls: For mixing your ingredients into.
How To Make Mint Chocolate Popsicles (Step by Step)

3. In a double boiler melt the dark chocolate. Once it’s melted mix it with the cup and a half cream cheese mixture.
4. Take out your popsicle moulds, silicone ones are best and alternate pouring the chocolate mixture and the plain mixture into your moulds until they are full.
5. Place your popsicle sticks in and have them covered in your freezer for at least 6 hours but overnight is best and enjoy!
