Even though I make these pops in a Zoku maker, you can make any of these recipes in traditional pop makers β each pop here is 2 oz. so adjust accordingly. And if you love pops like me, then do yourself a favor and get a Zoku π Their recipes turn out fantastic pops β I often skinny them up a bit, but I mostly use their measurements and basic recipe and am always pleased with the results. Though the original recipe does not call for it, I always add a couple of drops of green food coloring – it just tastes more minty if it’s green – hehehe
6 servings
159 calories per serving
1 Β½ c skim milk
3 T simple syrup (heat equal amounts sugar and water until sugar is all dissolved β cool)
1 t peppermint extract
Β½ t vanilla extract
Pinch salt
ΒΌ c semi sweet chocolate chips
6 T magic shell (available in the ice cream section of your market)
A few drops of green food coloring (optional)
Whisk together the first 5 ingredients. If you want to chocolate chips in the pops (this method only pertains to pops made in a Zoku) dip the chips in the mint base then using tweezers, place the walls of the mold. Then pour in the mint base and freeze completely (7-9 minutes in the Zoku, 6 hours in the freezer). If desired, add the quick shell by brushing on or watering down a bit and then dipping the pops into the shell β I usually leave mine bare π
