1 cup milk
¼ cup sugar
3 egg yolks
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup chocolate chips
4 tablespoons butter
½ teaspoon kosher salt
+mini marshmallows charred or uncharred
+graham crackers- whole…crumbled…toasted- your call
In a blender, zoom together milk, sugar, egg yolks, cornstarch, and vanilla until smooth. Transfer to a heavy bottom, medium sized pot, clean the blender and replace. Whisk the mixture over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil, 2-3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking until thickened to a pudding consistency, about 1 minute more.
Remove from heat. Transfer the hot mixture to the clean blender, add the chocolate, butter and salt and zoom again, ensuring the mixture is chocolatey, shiny and smooth.
Lay out 6 popsicle mods or small plastic or paper cups on a flat tray that can fit in your freezer. Pour some chocolate pudding into each mold then stud each mold with marshmallow and graham moments as you like. Add more pudding, then more marshmallow and graham moments, repeating until each mold is filled. Insert a popsicle stick in each one and freeze until completely solid, about 4 hours. When you’re ready to dig in, pop the ‘sicles out of the molds- peeling back the mold or submerging the mods ¾ of the way in the water for 5-Mississippis then jiggling the pop by the sick to release. Happy Summer!
