So, how do you like your bourbon? In a Lift? Or an Old fashioned? Maybe you like it straight up> Or, on the rocks? Or, maybe you like it like I do — with a side of chocolate or baked into some Christmas Cake Cupcakes?
I know, I know — such a buzzkill I am. To be honest, am not a huge fan of hard liquor — but I do love the layer of flavor bourbon seems to add to cakes, waffles, ice cream and these Chocolate Bourbon Popsicles.
In fact, the only reason I do buy the stuff is to bake or cook with it. My almost-college bound daughter likes to taunt me with the fact that she cannot wait for our trip across The Pond this year so she can enjoy some Bourbon straight up — legally! What the what?!
Recently I was trying to find out more about bourbon as I don’t know much about it other than the fact that it tastes good in the goodies I use it in … and stumbled on the fact that unlike scotch, bourbon does not employ any artificial coloring to get that gorgeous, highlights and lowlights in the sun look — maybe you have some more fun facts or stories about bourbon you’d like to share?
Getting back to these popsicles — these Chocolate Bourbon Popsicles are super easy to make and, if lactose isn’t your friend, these popsicles also happen to be dairy free. If you are not sold yet, these bad boys also call for only 4 ingredients:
Coconut condensed milk,
Coconut milk,
Good quality chocolate,
And – Bourbon!
If dairy is your friend, you can very easily substitute out the coconut condensed milk with regular full fat condensed milk and the coconut milk with heavy cream and enjoy!
This recipe first appeared on FoodFanatic! Looking for dinner ideas to enjoy before these popsicles? Well, FoodFanatic has you covered!
I just adore coconut and the combo with chocolate makes them even more tempting!
Ha! That’s how I feel about beer! I don’t like to drink it but love to cook / bake with it! Loving the sound of these ice pops!
Mmmm, bourbon. Love it with chocolate! Such a dynamite combo of flavors. These look intensely good. And really easy to make! Great combo. 🙂 Thanks!
Bring these popsicles on, my friend! I am a huge fan of both bourbon and scotch…in fact, those are my go-to liquors. I do occasionally bake/cook with them, but I don’t think I’ve ever incorporated them into a popsicle. This clearly needs to happen soon! It’s still warm up here (at least for another week or two), so I’d better get crackin’ on these popsicles! Love the flavor combination here, Shashi! And it sounds like Lil Shashi knows her stuff, too…although we won’t ask how she knows such things. Haha!
These look perfectly delicious. Dessert and drink all in one convenient little ice lolly. I had no idea that sweetened condensed coconut milk even existed. That is cool to know. How are you surviving the empty nest? 🙂
What happens to the rest of the bottle of Bourbon Shashi once these have been made? 😉
What a great idea to combine Bourbon in with a tasty ice lolly. If I can’t have the rest of your bottle of Bourbon, then I’ll quite happily settle for one of these. 😀
Looks so good Shashi. I had NO IDEA coconut condensed milk exists.. I”m so minimizing my dairy intake, unless it’s pizza or something, this is so well done and such few ingredients.
