How do you make chocolate ice cream on a stick?

### Ingredients

- 2 cups heavy cream

- 1 cup whole milk

- 1 cup sugar

- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 10 wooden sticks

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt.

2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly.

3. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sugar has dissolved.

4. Remove the mixture from the heat and let it cool for 15 minutes.

5. Pour the mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish.

6. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight.

7. To make the ice cream pops, cut the frozen mixture into 10 equal squares.

8. Insert a wooden stick into each square.

9. Return the ice cream pops to the freezer for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Tips

- For a richer ice cream, use half and half instead of whole milk.

- For a more intense chocolate flavor, add more cocoa powder.

- For a sweeter ice cream, add more sugar.

- For a more salty ice cream, add more salt.

- You can add any other desired ingredients to the ice cream, such as chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit.

- To make the ice cream pops ahead of time, store them in the freezer for up to 2 months.

- When you're ready to serve the ice cream pops, let them thaw for a few minutes at room temperature before eating.
