While these treats can just as quickly be made in purchased freezer-pop molds, they are actually perfect for paper cups. The striping really makes an impact when peeling off those cups!
Fun Combinations
Chocolate and vanilla stripes aren’t the only option! Try lemon and blackberry, coconut and pineapple, or orange and blueberry, just to name a few! For the adult variety, consider coffee and chocolate and add a few chocolate-covered coffee beans for a surprise bite.
SERVES 12
INGREDIENTS
- ¾ cup milk, divided
- 4 cups light-colored ice cream, softened
- 2 cups dark colored ice cream, softened
PREPARATION
- Stir ½ cup of the milk into the light-colored ice cream, and the remaining ¼ cup milk into the dark.
- Starting with the light ice cream, begin filling the paper cups about a third full. Place cup in freezer and freeze for 45 minutes. Keep unused ice cream chilled for 30 minutes in the freezer, then in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- Remove cups from the freezer, and add a craft stick to the center of each cup. Proceed to fill with dark ice cream (about a third of the cup). Top with light ice cream. Return to the freezer until set.
- To store pops not consumed within 24 hours, place a piece of plastic wrap over each cup, pulling it over the stick.
