Let’s get started!

What You’ll Need

For the Popsicles:

  • 1 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee, cooled
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • ¼ cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free option)
  • 3 tbsp caramel sauce

  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp sea salt

For Topping (Optional but delicious!):

  • Drizzle of caramel sauce
  • A sprinkle of flaky sea salt
  • Chocolate shavings or crushed espresso beans

Pro Tips

  1. Use strong coffee for a bold mocha flavor. Espresso works best!
  2. For extra creaminess, use full-fat milk or coconut cream.
  3. Taste the mixture before freezing to adjust sweetness.
  4. Let the popsicles sit at room temp for 2 minutes before removing them easily from the mold.
  5. Drizzle caramel after freezing for the best texture!

  • Popsicle molds
  • Popsicle sticks
  • Measuring spoons
