Double Trouble Ice Cream Pops

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!

INGREDIENTS | SERVES 12

  • ¾ cup milk, divided
  • 4 cups light-colored ice cream, softened
  • 2 cups dark-colored ice cream, softened
  1. Stir ½ cup of the milk into the light-colored ice cream, and remaining ¼ cup milk into the dark.

  2. 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 freezer, then in refrigerator for 15 minutes.

  3. Remove cups from freezer, and add craft stick to center of each cup. Proceed to fill with dark ice cream (about a third of the cup). Top with light ice cream. Return to freezer until set.

  4. To store pops not consumed within 24 hours, place a piece of plastic wrap over each cup, pulling it over the stick.

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.
