Gemma’s Pro Chef Tips For Making Irish Coffee And Cream Popsicles
The coffee needs to be strong to hold its own against the Irish cream and the freezing, which can mute some flavor. If your coffee isn’t very strong, add a little extra instant coffee powder to your coffee mix. If you prefer an alcohol-free version, replace the Irish cream with an equal amount of condensed milk (and a ½ teaspoon of Irish cream extract if you can find it.) If you don’t have popsicle molds, you can freeze these popsicles in 3oz/85ml capacity paper cups with wooden popsicle sticks. To keep the sticks in place, wrap the top of the cups in tin foil and poke the sticks through the middle. For a far less sweet version, you can replace the Irish cream with Irish whiskey. You can make these with decaffeinated coffee for a caffeine-free treat.
How Do I Store Irish Coffee And Cream Popsicles?
You can keep these popsicles in the freezer, in their molds, for up to 1 week before serving.
