Whilst it’s quicker to dash to the local store and buy an iced treat, there’s an added delight in creating one at home. Even more so when you don’t even have to change out of your pyjamas…
Plus, I highly doubt any local store will offer a popsicle as decadent and delicious as this. Creamy, sweet and balanced from the sprinkle of salt flakes on top, there isn’t a popsicle out there that will hit the sweet spot like this one.
And don’t worry, making your own caramel at home has a surprising ease and once you’ve mastered it, makes them even more rewarding to tuck into onto a hot summer’s day.
I’ll be writing three more delicious popsicle recipes throughout August so make sure you follow along & don’t miss out!
Caramel and Salted Chocolate Drizzle Popsicles:
In a wide heavy based saucepan, sprinkle the sugar evenly over the base of the pan. Over a medium heat, melt the sugar until it turns a deep golden brown. Whisk in the butter, then 50ml of the cream. Pour the caramel into a bowl and set aside to cool.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining cream with the milk and vanilla, until the sugar has dissolved. Spoon in the caramel, and whisk in so it forms small clumps, this creates the caramel chunks. Pour into the moulds, cover with foil, create slits and insert the popsicle sticks. Freeze for 4 hours or until set.
Melt the chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat, and set aside to cool slightly. Meanwhile, remove the popsicles from the moulds and lay the on a baking sheet. Flick the chocolate over with a fork, sprinkle over the sea salt and leave to set for a minute to set.
Eat immediately or return to the freezer on the baking paper.
Yum!! Can’t wait to make them this weekend!
