Vanilla Cold Brew Popsicles with Cacao Nibs

This recipe is one in a series that is sponsored by Almond Breeze. As always, my opinions remain my own.

Have you ever had Vietnamese coffee? Itโ€™s a mix of cold brew – which is very strong – and condensed milk, which is thick and heavily sweetened.

I set out to replicate this amazing flavour with some cold brew popsicles – the perfect treat for a hot summer day. I wanted them sweet (because popsicles are dessert), I wanted the coffee to shine through, and I wanted them a bit lighter (and less sticky) than just a coffee and condensed milk treat. Thatโ€™s where the Almond Breeze came in.

I literally made these popsicles eleven different times, testing different ingredients and ratios. It took me a loooong time, because popsicles arenโ€™t done until theyโ€™re actually frozen. Letโ€™s just say, it was a labor of love that wasnโ€™t complete until I finally got the exact texture and flavour I had envisioned for these coffee popsicles.

Anyhow, I settled on the simplest recipe because it tasted the best and it was really the easiest to make. I love when that happens!

Instead of using only condensed milk, I made the popsicles with mostly Almond Breeze vanilla flavour to lighten these up a bit. Then, for a bit of a nice surprise, I put cacao nibs into each pop. Youโ€™re going to love their crunch and intense cocoa flavour.

An added bonus is that the coffee and the cacao nibs are sources of antioxidants – so eat up!
