Low Fat Fudge Pops

Ingredients:
– 1 ½ cups low-fat milk
– ⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– ½ cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– ½ cup nonfat Greek yogurt
– Pinch of salt
– Popsicle molds
– Popsicle sticks

Instructions:
1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the low-fat milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and slightly warmed.

2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, nonfat Greek yogurt, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until everything is fully combined and smooth.

3. Allow the fudge pops mixture to cool for about 10-15 minutes. This step helps the mixture thicken slightly and ensures the pops have a creamy texture once frozen.

4. Carefully pour the fudge pops mixture into your popsicle molds, leaving a little room at the top for the popsicles to expand as they freeze.

5. Insert the popsicle sticks into each mold, ensuring they are centered and standing upright. If your molds come with lids, secure them in place.

6. Place the filled popsicle molds in the freezer and let them set for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight. The longer they freeze, the firmer and creamier the fudge pops will be.

7. Once completely frozen, remove the molds from the freezer. To easily release the fudge pops, run the bottom of the molds under warm water for a few seconds. Gently wiggle the popsicles out of the molds.

8. Serve and enjoy these delightful Low Fat Fudge Pops on a hot day, at a summer party, or whenever you need a cool and satisfying treat.

These Low Fat Fudge Pops are a fantastic way to indulge your sweet tooth without feeling like you’re overdoing it. The blend of cocoa powder, low-fat milk, and a hint of sweetness from sugar creates a rich chocolate flavor that will have you coming back for seconds. The addition of nonfat Greek yogurt not only adds a creamy texture but also a boost of protein, making these popsicles a somewhat healthier alternative to store-bought versions.

You can also get creative by adding chopped nuts, sprinkles, or a drizzle of melted dark chocolate on top before the pops freeze completely. With these delicious homemade treats, you can beat the heat in the most delightful way!
