Mudslide Popsicles

April 21, 2015 by Matt Robinson 35 Comments

I know spring has only just begun, but I’m already craving summer. I’m ready for the beach, popsicles and a whole lot of granitas. All things that don’t cost too much money and are easy to pull together. A summer must when you have kids.

Remember these popsicles here, here, here, here and especially, here? Well I’m back at it with these Mudslide Popsicles. These have appeared in around my house for a few years now, but this time around I’ve switched up the recipe for what you see here.

And yeah, this is my favorite iteration of the family recipe—it’s rich, it’s creamy and it’s got a bite to it! A nice strong coffee flavor. Here’s the weird thing, I don’t even drink coffee.  But I love the taste of coffee in ice cream, so I figured why not work it into some Mudslide Popsicles?

Aren’t you glad I did? Because these boozy popsicles are going to be a summer must!

Mudslide Popsicles

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup chocolate ice cream
  • 1/2 cup chocolate milk
  • 1/3 cup Kahlua
  • 1/4 cup vodka
  • 1/4 Irish cream
  • 1 teaspoon instant coffee (use one with a good strong flavor like Starbucks Via French Roast)

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and whisk until ice cream is melted and everything is well combined. Pour mixture through a strainer to filter out any small clumps of instant coffee. Fill popsicle molds. Cover top with foil and poke a hole just large enough for a popsicle stick to fit through. Freeze for at least four hours or overnight. (Freeze time will vary according to freezer setting and how full your freezer is). Remove from the freezer and run hot water on the outside to remove popsicles from mold.

    I love these popsicles. Who says popsicles are just for kids?

      They don’t, adults only. Let’s hope they don’t accidentally get ahold of one though!

    Oh, these look AMAZING! And my husband is the same way – he will never drink a cup of coffee (or latte or cappuccino), BUT he loves coffee ice cream + coffee-flavored sweets. These would be SUCH a crowd-pleaser at a adults summertime cookout. Mmmmmm.

    I decided that I must make this for my toddler birthday party in June, well, obviously not for the kids, but for the adults to enjoy by the pool, I am sure they will be a big hit!

    Wow! I was going to see some kind of an innocent dessert, and you’ve got such a bomb with vodka and Kahlua! Even though I can’t stand vodka, I would give this a try. And Matt, did you notice someone was impatient and had already got a bite? 🙂

    It already feels like summer is on its way here in NorCal! We’ve hit 90° a few times in the past month, and popsicles would be the perfect way to cool off. Especially chocolate ones — they’re my favorite flavor!

    If we can finally have a summer around here I will start making pops again. Saving this recipe. We always have Kahlua here and they would be a great treat to enjoy!
