Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 day

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a popsicle cake on a stick? Prepare all the necessary ingredients.

2. STEP 2

   

   The first step is to prepare the gelatin. Fill it with cold water, stir and leave to stand for 25-30 minutes. During this time, it will swell well and absorb all the water.

3. STEP 3

   

   Once the gelatin is ready, we will begin the main preparation. Pour milk into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil. No need to boil! Then add the broken white chocolate to the hot milk and stir until it melts completely.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place the swollen gelatin into the hot chocolate mixture. At high temperatures, gelatin will begin to dissolve. Stir until it is completely dissolved. If the mass cools quickly, then it can be heated a little more. But don't boil!

5. STEP 5

   

   It happens that several grains of gelatin do not dissolve. To prevent them from getting caught in the finished mousse and spoiling its uniformity, pass the entire mass through a strainer. Then cool to room temperature.

6. STEP 6

   

   Separately, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar until fluffy. There is no need to whip until a strong, stable cream is achieved. Just so that the cream begins to thicken and increase in volume a little. At this stage, you can add any syrup to the whipped cream for flavor. Or you don’t have to add it.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add the cream into the chocolate mixture in small portions and mix by hand using a whisk. No need to beat. Otherwise the mass will become liquid.

8. STEP 8

   

   Just mix both masses until smooth and fluffy.

9. STEP 9

   

   Insert sticks into popsicle molds. Place the mousse in a pastry bag and fill all the molds. Don't hesitate - the mousse hardens quickly. Place the molds in the freezer for 6-8 hours until completely frozen.

10. STEP 10

    

    For chocolate glaze, break dark chocolate into pieces and pour vegetable oil into it. Heat in the microwave, stirring occasionally until the chocolate is completely melted. Why add vegetable oil? This is necessary for the fluidity of the glaze. Cool the finished glaze until slightly warm or to room temperature.

11. STEP 11

    

    Frozen popsicles are easy to remove from the mold. It is convenient to pour the chocolate glaze into a tall glass. Dip the popsicle into the glaze and immediately remove. On a frozen cake, the chocolate immediately hardens.

12. STEP 12

    

    Once this is done, place the popsicles in the refrigerator for a few hours to slowly thaw. There is no need to cover them to prevent condensation from forming.

13. STEP 13

    

    If desired, the popsicle can be decorated to your taste.

14. STEP 14

    

    Store the cake in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. If it sits for several hours at room temperature, it will not leak. The mousse itself will become softer inside, but it will hold its shape. Even the chocolate glaze does not melt or spread. Enjoy your treat!
