Why I LOVE these popsicles:

I’ve always LOVED popsicles: making them and eating them. I can be so creative when coming up with recipes, so I’ve decided to come out with 4 popsicle recipes every week during the month of August!

These popsicles are inspired by my absolute favorite type of coffee: Vietnamese coffee!! It’s essentially just coffee with sweetened condensed milk… and I’m obsessed with it. When I was really addicted to coffee, I drank one of these every single day.

So, these popsicles are completely inspired by my amazing everyday coffee recipe from about a year ago!

What I use to make these:

For my popsicle maker, I used the ZOKU popsicle molds. They work perfectly for this recipe because they help make the layers perfectly ombre.

Pour just a very little bit of the cold brew mixture into the popsicle molds to create the first layer of the popsicles.

The bottom of the stick shouldn’t touch the cold brew mixture. It should look something like this:

Next, freeze for 5-6 hours.

Mix the next layer by mixing 1 cup of cold brew with 1 tbsp of sweetened condensed milk.

mixing the second layer of the cold brew coffee popsicles

Then, pour about a one inch layer of this mixture on top of the first layer. Stretch cling wrap over the popsicle mold base and poke holes in the top of it with a knife to create slits for the sticks.

Seperate the sticks from the base cups and insert the sticks into the popsicle molds.

the second layer poured in the popsicle mold to freeze

removing the trays from the popsicle sticks

Freeze this layer for around 5-6 hours again before mixing 1 cup of cold brew with 2 tbsp of sweetened condensed milk.

Then, use scissors to carefully remove the cling wrap and pour the third layer to the top of the popsicle molds.

Next, freeze the last layer overnight or for 8 hours and remove from the molds by running under hot water for around one minute. The finished popsicle should look like this:
