Easy Recipe

  1. 1
    Blend milk and nutella. Combine 1 cup (240 mL) whole milk and ⅓ cup (80 mL) Nutella in a blender.[1] If you don't have a blender, use a large bowl and an electric mixer instead. Keep mixing until there are no gooey chocolate lumps.
    • Use almond milk instead for a low-dairy version.[2] (Nutella does contain skim milk, so this is not completely dairy-free.[3] )
  2. 2
    Pour into popsicle molds or cups. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little room at the top. Stick the popsicle handles into the liquid.
    • If you don't have popsicle molds, pour into cups and cover with plastic wrap. Poke a small hole through the plastic with a popsicle stick, dunking it in the liquid.[4]
    • You can use an ice cube tray to make mini-popsicles. Cover the tray with plastic wrap and stick a toothpick through it into each cube.

    Freeze until hard. This usually takes about five hours. You might be able to speed this up by keeping them in the back of the freezer where it's coldest.[5]
  4. 4
    Remove from molds. Fill a jug or tall bowl with warm tap water. Hold the handle of the mold and dip the other end into the water. This should loosen the popsicles and make it easier to take out.[6]

Fancy Recipes

  1. 1
    Make a creamy Nutella popsicle. A trip to the store for the extra ingredients is worth the delicious texture of the result. You can follow the same steps as the easy recipe: just blend until smooth, pour into popsicle molds, and freeze. Unlike the easy version, you'll end up with a creamy, fudge-like texture, with no hard ice crystals.[7]
    • ¾ cup (180 mL) Nutella
    • ½ cup (120 mL) sweetened condensed milk
    • ½ cup (120 mL) heavy cream
    • 1 cup (240 mL) whole milk
    • ½ tsp (2.5 mL) vanilla extract
    • pinch of salt
  2. 2
    Go bananas. You think this is just a convenient summer treat? What if your popsicles were the centerpiece of a dessert table? Try out this maelstrom of flavor:[8] [9]
    • Mash or puree 4 large, ripe bananas or 6 medium bananas.
    • Blend or mix in ½ cup (120 mL) Nutella until smooth and pour into molds. Alternatively, spoon the two ingredients in alternate layers to get a striped popsicle.
    • Pop the molds in the freezer. While you wait, toast pistachios for 6–8 minutes in a dry pan or in the oven.[10] Freeze nuts until cold, then grind to a powder in a food processor.[11]
    • Roll popsicles in the powder before serving.
  3. 3
    Make alcoholic popsicles. Cream liqueur keeps the smooth dairy texture, while adding a buzz of its own. Bailey's is the most commonly available option, but you can use other Irish cream liqueur brand, or even make your own. Combine these ingredients and freeze in popsicle molds:[12]
    • ½ cup (120 mL) Irish cream liqueur
    • ½ cup (120 mL) milk
    • ⅓ cup (80 mL) Nutella
    • Note— You can increase the amount of liqueur, but the popsicles will take longer to freeze. If you go above 10% alcohol (1⅕ cup / 285 mL of Bailey's), you'll probably need chunks of banana to help it freeze.[13]
