The Easiest, Fudgiest Popsicles from Scratch

Whereas store-bought fudge pops are made with a laundry list of hard-to-pronounce ingredients, the homemade version requires just five simple ones that are likely in your kitchen: cocoa powder, sugar, cornstarch, milk, and vanilla extract, plus a pinch of salt.

Fortunately, there's an easy way to prevent this unwanted outcome by using an unexpected ingredient: cornstarch. When you're creating the mixture for your popsicles, you can add a few teaspoons of cornstarch. Blend it with the rest of your ingredients, then pour the liquid into the popsicle molds as usual.

How do I get my popsicles to have a creamier texture? To get a slightly softer texture, add more sweetener or a fatty milk product like heavy cream. Both lower the freezing point of the puree and gives it a less icy final finish.

“If you're making a cream-based popsicle, add in a few teaspoons of cornstarch to keep the popsicle from becoming too icy and to give it a creamy texture,” Passante says.

Creamsicle's center is vanilla ice cream, covered by a layer of flavored ice. Fudgsicle, originally sold as Fudgicle, is a flat, frozen dessert that comes on a stick and is chocolate-flavored with a texture somewhat similar to ice cream.

Fudge is a dense, rich confection typically made with sugar, milk or cream, butter and chocolate or other flavorings. The base for fudge is boiled until it reaches the soft-ball stage (135 to 140 degrees F), then stirred or beaten as it cools to minimize the formation of sugar crystals.

The pectin makes the pops smoother, less icy, and softer to bite. With just a little bit of sugar plus a lemon juice and citric acid to make the flavors even brighter, you have yourself one perfect summer treat.

When it comes to great ice cream, cold temperatures and speed are your friends: the faster you bring your base from liquid to solid, the creamier it'll be. In a 2-quart unit, a typical batch of ice cream will take between 18 and 25 minutes to churn.

I find the best method is to fill a pan or container that is at least as tall as your mold with warm (not hot) water, and briefly dip the mold in until the pops loosen, about 20 to 30 seconds. Remove the mold from the water and place it on a sturdy surface.

Does gelatin make popsicles softer? ›

Half a teaspoon of gelatin for each cup of liquid mixture will do the trick. Thanks to the pectin with which they were thickened, jam and jelly produce ice pops with an even softer, smoother texture.

What ingredient makes popsicles soft? Greek yogurt or full-fat coconut milk can help homemade popsicles stay soft.

The secret to making no “icy” popsicle is adding cornstarch to the recipe! This will make popsicles less icy and more creamy.

****Optional: xanthan gum acts as a stabilizer, ensuring a consistent texture while freezing (but it's also totally optional). I particularly suggest it if you're going to leave your popsicles in the freezer for a while, or if you like your texture extra creamy.
