Recipe by Geoff Marshall
Yield: 4 ice pops
Preparation Instructions:
1. In a large saucepan, combine cocoa mix, sugar, and cornstarch. Slowly add ½ cup of milk and whisk into a thick paste. Whisk in egg yolks thoroughly, then slowly add remaining milk and whisk until the chocolate paste has dissolved into the milk.
2. Turn heat on medium and stir/whisk constantly, cooking until thickened into a nice pudding consistency. Do not let the edges of pudding burn.
3. Pour into a shallow dish and place in refrigerator to cool, removing and whisking every so often to prevent a skin from forming on the top.
4. Pour into a popsicle mold or small paper cups with popsicle sticks. Freeze until solid. (1-2 hours)
