Coated in chocolate, these chocolate chip ice cream pops will be all you will need to help you cool down in the heat of the summer! With only four ingredients, these ice cream pops are easy to make for whenever you need an afternoon snack beside the pool or a dessert to have after dinner. They come together quickly and no ice cream maker is required.
To make the chocolate chip ice cream pops, you pour a mixture of sweetened condensed milk and cream into plastic cups before freezing them partway. Then, they get studded with large chocolate chips before being placed in the freezer again until they are fully set. Finally, they get finished with a coating of dark chocolate before being set aside for the coating to set before serving.
What are Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Pops?
Chocolate chip ice cream pops are four-ingredient ice creams that have chocolate chips in them and a dark chocolate coating. This recipe doesn’t require an ice cream maker as it uses sweetened condensed milk and heavy cream, resulting in a high enough sugar and fat content that the ice cream will freeze without forming ice crystals.
Pro Tips
- Thoroughly whisk the sweetened condensed milk with the heavy cream so they are well-combined.
- Choose plastic cups that are thin enough that you can cut into them to remove the pops when you serve them.
- If you don’t love dark chocolate, you could use semi-sweet chocolate or milk chocolate instead.
- If you don’t have large chocolate chips on hand, you could use regular sized chocolate chips or even a chocolate bar cut into large chunks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Pops Have Sugar?
Yes, they do! Even though sugar isn’t an explicit ingredient in the ingredient list, these pops will still be sweet as they use sweetened condensed milk, a canned blend of milk and sugar.
Can I Replace Dark Chocolate With Another Type of Chocolate?
Absolutely! If you don’t have dark chocolate on hand or don’t love it, you could replace it with milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate.
How Do You Melt Chocolate?
You can use two different methods to melt chocolate, in the microwave or on top of the stove. For the stovetop method, place chopped chocolate in a bowl set over a bowl of simmering water, and stir the chocolate until it is completely melted. For the microwave method, you can place chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted.
How to Store Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Pops
The ice cream pops can be stored in the cups in the freezer until you are ready to serve them. Once they are fully set, you can cover them with plastic wrap to protect them from freezer burn as they sit in the freezer.
