Ingredients:
- 240ml (1 cup) whole milk
- 120ml (1/2 cup) heavy cream
- 180g (3/4 cup) Nutella
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (5ml)
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar (optional for extra sweetness)
- Crushed hazelnuts, for garnish (optional)
Method of Preparation:
- Blend the ingredients:
In a blender, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, Nutella, vanilla
extract, and powdered sugar (if using). Blend on high until the mixture is
smooth and creamy.
- Taste and adjust:
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if necessary, adding a bit more
powdered sugar or Nutella if desired.
- Pour into molds:
Pour the Nutella mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small gap at the
top for expansion as they freeze. Tap the molds gently to remove any air
bubbles.
- Insert sticks:
Place the popsicle sticks in the center of each mold.
- Freeze:
Freeze the popsicles for at least 4 hours, or until completely solid.
- Unmold and garnish:
To remove the pops from the molds, run warm water over the outside for a
few seconds. Once removed, garnish with crushed hazelnuts for extra
texture and flavor, if desired.
- Serve and enjoy:
Enjoy immediately or store pops in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Culinary Tips for Success:
- Use full-fat milk and cream: For the creamiest texture, stick to whole milk and
heavy cream. Lower-fat options may result in icier pops.
- Adjust sweetness to taste: Depending on your preference, you can add powdered
sugar to make the pops sweeter or skip it for a more balanced, less sweet
treat.
- Experiment with garnishes: Crushed hazelnuts, sprinkles, or even a drizzle of
melted chocolate can add a fun, decorative touch.
- Ensure even freezing:
Make sure to freeze the pops in a level position so they freeze evenly.
- Pre-chill your molds:
For a smoother pop surface, pre-chill the molds in the freezer for 10
minutes before pouring in the mixture.
Frequently Asked Questions:
- Can I make these pops without heavy cream? Yes, you can use all milk instead of cream, but the
texture may be slightly less creamy and more icy.
- How do I store leftover popsicles? Store the pops in an airtight container or wrap them
individually in plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn. They’ll keep well
for up to 2 weeks.
- Can I add other ingredients to the pops? Absolutely! Feel free to add a swirl of peanut butter,
caramel, or even chunks of chocolate or banana to the mixture before
freezing.
- What can I use if I don’t have popsicle molds? If you don't have molds, small disposable cups or even
ice cube trays work as an alternative. Just remember to insert a stick
once the pops have frozen partially.

for a sweet, cooling treat that everyone can enjoy!
