2 Ingredient “Nutella” Popsicles

The boy doesn’t really need summer to eat popsicles. I tend to make fruit based popsicles, Strawberry Yogurt Popsicles for ex, throughout the year. Frozen fruits along with greek yogurt make nourishing and protein rich fun treats for kids (and adults alike). But occasionally I like to indulge the boy. To him, that means chocolate! The husband and I don’t care for chocolate – in fact anything sweet. So, its kinda life’s joke on us that our boy loves chocolate like its going out of style  And its not surprising either that he loves Nutella. I am yet to come across anyone who doesn’t. I used to make this using Nutella until I switched to another brand for healthier reasons. Yes, its still loads of sugar – but I like to keep it at just that, thank you. Minimizing unnecessary additives from day to day lives is a full time job by itself, I think!

Anyway, so on days we want to splurge, I make these popsicles that takes hardly any effort and ingredients. Its just Nutella/or Chocolate Hazelnut spread and milk. Whip it up in your blender/processor, freeze it for few hours and tada – you have a treat on your hands. I personally never add anything else, but you can add in some fruit – like a banana if you like. 

Removing the popsicles from the mould is easy. Just run it under warm tap water for few seconds and it comes right out when you tug it gently. Enjoy!

2/3 cups Chocolate Hazelnut Spread – see Tips
2 cups Whole Milk

1. Chocolate Hazelnut Spread: I use Rigoni di Asiago Nocciolata brand, but you can use any brand of your choosing.

This measurement is based on the brand and our taste preference. But you can easily adjust the proportions based on what you like. Add both the ingredients together in a blender.

Blend until well combined.

Pour it out into popsicle moulds.

Depending on the size of your moulds, you might get less or more popsicles.

Freeze for few hours or until set.
