Coffee Ice Cream Push Pops: The Best Chocolate Dessert Recipe
A special thanks to my sister and mother (Alexandria and Starr Todd) for their contributions to the making of this article. Mahalo nui loa.
These delicious push pops are perfect for parties, special events, or a simple movie night with the family. These push pops can be served frozen or right after you make them. With coffee ice cream, oreos and chocolate, this dessert is bound to make everyone's mouth water.
The push pop holders can be found at craft and culinary supply stores. These holders can be washed and reused so nothing is going to waste and they fit perfectly in the racks of freezers--just stick them in between the bars.
This special treat can be made with many other types of ice cream and toppings. What combination would you try? Strawberry jam and orange sherbet? Chocolate and banana? The possibilities are endless.
