Fudgesicles

I saw a fudgesicle recipe at www.BakingBites.com.
It was incredibly easy and fast to do. And they are delicious!


Homemade Fudgsicles
2 cups low fat or skim milk
1/2 cup cocoa powder
2/3 cup sugar
2 tbsp cornsyrup or agave syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
In a medium saucepan, combine milk, cocoa powder, sugar, corn syrup (or agave syrup) and vanilla extract. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently, and cook just until all of the sugar and cocoa powder is dissolved. Pour hot mixture into popsicle molds and freeze overnight, or until solid.
Makes 6-8 large popsicles (depending on the size of your molds)
I used whole milk instead because that was what I had in my fridge. Also, I poured the liquid through a strainer before pouring into the molds to remove any clumps. It worked like a charm. To release, run warm water on the outside of the mold for a few seconds.

Next time though, I would use a little less coca powder. It was a bit too chocolately for my taste.
