These iced coffee popsicles are just what to make when it’s too hot to drink your usual cup! Strong coffee and sweetened condensed milk freeze up into a smooth, creamy, sweet treat for the perfect pick-me-up on a hot day.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup ground coffee French roast or chicory, such as Café Du Monde
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Stir the coffee grounds and water together in a large jar, then cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, or up to 72.
  2. Place a fine mesh strainer over a bowl, then line it with a coffee filter, cheese cloth or a few layers of paper towels. Pour the coffee mixture through and allow it to slowly drain. This may take up to 30 minutes to fully drain, so be patient.
  3. Discard the coffee grounds (compost them!), then whisk the liquid with sweetened condensed milk.
  4. Pour into a 10-popsicle mold, cover, and insert popsicle sticks. Freeze until solid, at least 6 hours or overnight.
  5. Run the popsicle mold under hot water for about 30 seconds to loosen, then remove the pops and serve immediately or store for later. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap, then store in a zip-top bag in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • Use a strong brew to ensure the fresh coffee flavor doesn’t get lost when frozen.
  • Don’t overfill the molds. Leave a bit of room at the bottom of the molds so they don’t overflow when freezing.
  • For the best method, chill your mixture before pouring into filled popsicle molds to help them freeze more evenly.
