How to Make Cookies & Cream Kahlua Parfait Pops
Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup Kahlua coffee liqueur
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreos)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup whipped topping (optional, for garnish)
- Popsicle molds
- Wooden popsicle sticks
Directions:
- In a large mixing bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream on medium speed until soft peaks begin to form. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Once the soft peaks are formed, add the sweetened condensed milk, Kahlua, and vanilla extract to the whipped cream. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula until fully combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream; the mixture should remain light and fluffy.
- Next, add the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and mini chocolate chips to the mixture. Fold them in gently until evenly distributed throughout the creamy mixture.
- Prepare your popsicle molds by ensuring they are clean and dry. Spoon the Kahlua parfait mixture into each mold, filling them about three-quarters full to allow for expansion as they freeze.
- Once filled, insert a wooden popsicle stick into the center of each mold. Make sure the stick is centered and stands upright.
- Carefully place the filled molds in the freezer. Allow the parfait pops to freeze for at least 6 hours, or until they are completely firm.
- After the freezing time is complete, remove the parfait pops from the freezer. To release them from the molds, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds, being careful not to let water enter the molds.
- Gently pull on the popsicle sticks to remove the parfait pops from the molds. If they resist, you may need to run a little more warm water over the molds.
- If desired, top each parfait pop with a dollop of whipped topping before serving for an extra touch of creaminess.
- Enjoy your Cookies & Cream Kahlua Parfait Pops as a delightful, no-bake treat!
