But First Coffee: The Easiest Iced Coffee Popsicles Recipe

I’ve been drinking iced coffee like it’s my job lately, because it’s been so incredibly hot out. So I thought I would experiment with turning them into popsicles, just for fun. And it totally worked!

So, I’m sharing the easiest iced coffee popsicles recipe I’ve ever tried today. Because when its 100 degrees outside, you need these recipes to be as fast and easy as possible. No one is into working up a sweat when they’re trying to cool off. Amiright?!

Ingredients + Tools (make 10 popsicles)

• 30 ounces of cold brew coffee (I recommend this one, which has milk already added)
• simple syrup to taste
• 1 large chocolate bar (optional)
• popsicle mold

Instructions

1. If desired, add simple syrup to taste to cold brew coffee. Stir thoroughly and pour into popsicle molds.

2. For additional sweetness, add chocolate. This is completely optional, but I thought it added a little something extra. Up to you! You would do this by chopping up a chocolate bar into small shavings or chunks. And then sprinkling equal parts into each popsicle mold. This helps to sweeten up the coffee and adds a little bit of a mocha flavor.

3. Freeze for 45- 60 minutes. Then, add popsicle sticks and put the molds back in the freezer until fully frozen (about 4 hours).

4. Remove and enjoy. To loosen the popsicles from the mold when they’re ready to eat, run warm water over the underside of the tray for 20-30 seconds. 

Note: For coffee pops that are a little less strong, and more towards the creamy, sweet side, you can also use something like Starbucks Frappuccino coffee drinks in place of the cold brew and other ingredients. The best reason to use something like that is they already have everything you need in ’em (milk and sugar) and have a sweeter taste.
