Ingredients

Creamy Vanilla Ice Cream Popsicles (makes 8)

1 cup milk
½ cup sugar
1 egg yolk
2 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 cup heavy cream

Boozy Iced Coffee Float (for 1)

1 shot espresso I used my Moka pot, but you can substitute it with a shot of cold brew coffee or double strength brewed coffee
1 fl oz favorite coffee liqueur Like Kahlua
Simple syrup optional
Soda to top

Instructions

Creamy Vanilla Ice Cream Popsicles (makes 8)

Dissolve the cornstarch in the milk.
Place the sugar, yolks, vanilla and salt in a saucepan. Whisk well to combine (especially the yolks) and then add the milk and whisk again.
Heat the milk mix over medium heat, while whisking frequently until the mix thickens (it should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and leave a clear trail if you run your finger across it). Leave it to cool down completely (to room temp or chilled in the fridge).
Whisk the whipping cream in a cold bowl until you form stiff peaks. Add this whipped cream into the cooled custard and fold to combine.
Pour the mix into eight, 3 oz popsicle molds and let them freeze overnight.

Boozy Iced Coffee Float (for 1 recipe)

Place a shot of coffee liqueur and a vanilla ice cream popsicle in a glass. Add a shot of espresso and top it with some soda.
Taste and add simple syrup IF desired (or add some chocolate syrup for a more decadent treat!). Enjoy!
