It’s officially the last day of #icecreamweek, and I can’t tell you how sad I am that it’s over. Okay, I’ll try. I’m REAL sad. Extremely sad. Heartbroken. I’m going to miss all of the frozen treats and the bright smiles on the faces of my friends when they’re testing my ice cream.
To celebrate the last day of #icecreamweek, I made y’all creamy, fudgy, strawberry-filled, chocolate chip studded fudgesicles. They. Are. Divine! I may have eaten the leftover chocolate base that didn’t fit in the molds by the spoonfuls. Maybe.
I got these cute little popsicle molds at Ikea for $1.99. They work great, and they’re pink. My fav color.
These popsicles taste like a chocolate covered strawberry. They’re creamy and have a deep cocoa flavor.
I’d like to thank my wonderful #icecreamweek partners in ice cream making crime, Jen from Juanita’s Cocina and Carla from Chocolate Moosey, for making this week very special and very sweet.
Please join us in the celebration of #icecreamweek by linking up one of your own ice cream recipes.
Chocolate Covered Strawberry Fudgesicles
1/2 cup sugar
2 tbs. cornstarch
3 tbs. unsweetened cocoa powder
Pinch of salt
2 cups milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tbs. unsalted butter
1 cup strawberries, chopped
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
In a small bowl, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, cocoa, and salt.
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium low heat, heat milk over medium heat. Whisk in the sugar mixture as the milk heats. Cook until the mixture thickens into a loose pudding. Once it boils, it’s finished. Remove from heat and add cream, vanilla extract, and butter. Stir until melted and smooth.
Place plastic wrap directly over the custard and store in the refrigerator until completely cooled. If you’re impatient like me, place the bowl in an ice bath and whisk until room temperature. Once cooled, stir in strawberries and mini chocolate chips. Divide the mixture between the molds and freeze until solid.
To remove the pops from the molds, run the molds under warm water and pull gently on the sticks until they come loose.

Hi and welcome to my flour-dusted kitchen! The name's Jennie. I'm a lover of cupcakes, an avid spatula licker, and a huge fan of sprinkles. Baking is my passion, but you'll find some savory dishes scattered amongst copious amounts of frosting and chocolate. I love hearing from ya, so feel free to leave me some love. Thanks for stopping by my little piece of the interweb.
Hi Jennie,
Thanks for a week’s worth of great ice cream treats to try from you, Carla and Jen! I linked my Cantaloupe Ice Cream and can’t wait to see more ideas! You three inspired me to do a post on old fashioned ice cream sodas!

Thank you so much for visiting me all week, Uru!
Fudgesicles were my favorite frozen treat when I was a kid. Nice to have a recipe so I can make them. Now I just need the molds.
PS. I have really enjoyed ice cream week.
Ooooh yum! I need to get some popsicle molds ASAP!
But, but, but…I donwannit to be over. *sigh*
I’m makin’ these popsicles. And I feel the need to talk like Bill Cosby.
Um Ikea? Dude, don’t tempt me to go back. Good thing I live like 3 hours away and can’t go often….
Yay fudgesicles!! I’ll take that whole tray! #icecreamweek with you and Jen was such a blast! Let’s plan again next year, except this time we won’t be up until midnight the night before haha
They remind me of my favorite fudgesicle, BUT with a little surprise in the center! They look delicious:-) Hugs, Terra
Ohhh yum! I must make these!
LOVE the strawberry addition! I have a freezer full of fudgsicles right now….
Only I keep buying them so I’m pretty sure the box pushed to the back is covered in freezer burn….I’m obsessed with these during the summer! Loving these Jennie!
Well…I’ve clearly been making sub-par popsicles! These look unbelievably delicious
I perfect way to beat the end and round up ice cream week!
Oh yum. Those sound fabulous. Strawberries and fudgesicles- so simple, and yet so, so genius!
Along the coast we are hovering under a cool blanket of summer fog. But that has not stopped me from dreaming of ice cream and Popsicles. The IKEA molds are just adorable, vibrant summer colors and at a price that we all can afford. Just wish the closest IKEA wasn’t an hour & a half away!
these sound fantastic – yum! just can’t beat a good popsicle on these hot days!
i’ve been craving something chocolate and strawberry – this sounds perfect!
Chocolate and strawberries! One of my favs!
What a delicious summer treat! Thank you for sharing it with us. Now I am craving chocolate. I wish I already had one of these in my fridge. Have a beautiful day!
These look so good
I feel sad that I missed out on your blog hop! Everything looks so good! The chocolate covered strawberry popsicles is a brilliant idea.
