# What You’ll Need:

→ Dairy

01 - 1 1/2 cups whole milk
02 - 1/2 cup heavy cream
03 - 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

→ Coffee & Flavorings

04 - 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
05 - 1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped, or 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

→ Sweetener

06 - 1/3 cup granulated sugar

→ Chocolate Layer

07 - 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
08 - 1 tablespoon coconut oil

# How-To:

01 - In a medium saucepan, combine whole milk, heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warmed through without boiling.
02 - Remove from heat and stir in the cooled strong brewed coffee and vanilla bean seeds or vanilla extract until completely combined.
03 - Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before proceeding.
04 - Pour the mixture evenly into popsicle molds, leaving approximately 1/2 inch space at the top for the chocolate layer. Insert popsicle sticks into the center of each mold.
05 - Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the mixture is mostly solid.
06 - In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together using 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth. Allow to cool to lukewarm temperature.
07 - Remove pops from the freezer and spoon a thin layer of chocolate mixture onto the top of each pop. Return to the freezer for at least 2 additional hours until completely set.
08 - To remove the pops from molds, briefly run the molds under warm water before carefully unmolding and serving.
