Guess who made some super simple and incredibly delicious coffee popsicles for you? I did. These treats are dangerously addictive, and one probably won’t be enough. Thankfully, this recipe yields eight beautiful popsicles—plenty for you and maybe someone special if you feel like sharing.
These boozy caramel coffee popsicles are an ideal summer dessert for adults. They take less than five minutes to whisk together before pouring into an ice pop mold. The recipe uses coffee liqueur and caramel-sweetened condensed milk (dulce de leche) to deepen the flavor, and the base is International Delight Iced Coffee. I used the Caramel Macchiato flavor here, but mocha or vanilla would work nicely as well.
Photographing popsicles in a hot sunroom is a challenge—they melt fast and you often end up inhaling the remains before they puddle. If you have a fridge with an ice dispenser, laying the popsicles on a bed of ice helps; otherwise a little puddle gives the photos character.
If you plan to remove popsicles from the freezer to eat them, a good strategy is to pop them from the mold, place them in a freezer-safe bag, and return them to the freezer. That frees up the mold so you can make another batch if the craving hits.
If you enjoy coffee desserts, I also have other recipes you might like, such as coffee cupcakes with coffee buttercream and a coffee cheesecake—both are rich and delightful.
