Over the long weekend I finally got around to experimenting with my new popsicle mold. The final result was perfect for the hot Summer months and a coffee lover's dream, a coffee popsicle! I used Vietnamese-style coffee — a simple concoction of sweetened condensed milk and strong coffee, traditionally served over ice — as my inspiration. These frozen delights were cool, refreshing, and oh so delicious. Packed with a caffeine punch, these popsicles are super simple to make. The hardest part is waiting for them to freeze!
This popsicle recipe can easily be altered to suit any coffee taste so feel free to add vanilla, mocha, or chocolate. To learn how to freeze your favorite coffee beverage, please read more.
Original recipe
Ingredients
1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 3/4 cup water
1/4 cup freshly ground espresso coffee
Directions
1. Brew the coffee to a strong robust flavor. Using a French press, it takes approximately 10 minutes. I love French press but any other coffee brewing method would also work.
2. Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a separate bowl.
3. Slowly pour the hot coffee into the bowl with the sweetened condense milk. Stir.
4. Chill coffee and sweetened condensed milk mixture in the refrigerator until cool.
5. Strain the coffee, if needed.
6. Fill popsicle forms and place in freezer.
7. Once frozen, pop out of the form and enjoy!
Makes 4 popsicles.

that is a perfect summer treat--not as heavy as ice cream not as light as water ice but still cool, sweet and delicious!
1This type of coffee probably works best, since regular coffee often tastes way too bitter to be served cold.
2Ummmm...YUM!
3Those are ice cube molds...not popsicle ones hehe
4ooooh good idea!
5interesting never heard of this i guess i'll try it
6Look like Popsicle molds to me ...
I am so hungry for these now. I'm a sucker for Thai Iced Coffee/Tea.
7OHH I am in love!
8No thanks...I hate coffee.
9Oh I love my french press!
10I'm a Vietnamese but I've never heard of the "Vietnamese Style Coffee Popsicles" ever in my life. I prefer viet coffee then others coffee.
11i'd try this!! looks interesting
12ha! that's kinda weird (for me). You put them in a beaker. Looks really yummy though!
13These sound amazing, thank you! It's going on winter where I am, but I still might try them anyway.
14I LOVE Vietnemese coffee. I'm going to do these this weekend. Thanks for the brilliant idea.
15Where can I get such cool Popsicle molds?
16Nevermind.. I found them finally.

These sound wonderful...very light and refreshing! Must try these this weekend.
18Great idea! Will give this a try.
19I found similar molds at Target yesterday-- couldn't resist buying some to try this recipe!

21Sorry about the double comment; I can't figure out how to delete the duplicate! At any rate, here's a link to a similar mold at Target:

I can't find the exact one I bought at the store online. The molds I found at the store are very close the ones in the photos for the Vietnamese-Style Coffee on a Stick, and they're silicone rather than plastic.
Glad everyone like the coffee popsicles. ! I did buy my molds at Target and be sure to check out my June's must haves for other popsicle recommendations! I wanted a thinner popsicle mold to make sure they were not overwhelming to eat!
23Yum they would probably taste a little better if you used twice as much ground coffee rather than steeping it for twice as long. Steeping too long makes it taste bitter. Double strong is usually just double the grinds.
24Frozen coffee on a stick?? *swoooon*
25super easy and super yumm
26I made these and they were GREAT!
27Thanks Yum!
hmmm that's an interesting recipe to try out!
28This sounds wonderful!!! However, for Cafe Sua (Vietnamese coffee) lovers, this will NOT taste the same as what you usually get at a restuarant. Cafe Sua is made from vietnamese coffee or, more commonly, Chicory coffee, not expresso. You can buy a metal drip brewer and chicory coffee (Cafe Du Monde)from an asian store fairly cheaply.
29Good recipe. I like those molds also!
