Ingredients for Nutella Cool Whip Popsicle

The beauty of this recipe is that it requires only a few basic ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need to make your Nutella Cool Whip Popsicles:

For the Popsicles:

• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 cup Cool Whip, thawed
• ¼ cup Nutella

You can also add a little maple syrup or vanilla extract to sweeten it up further if you like, but the Nutella already provides plenty of sweetness!

How to Make Nutella Cool Whip Popsicles

I absolutely love how easy these popsicles are to whip up. Here’s how you can make your own batch:

Step 1: Combine the Milk and Cool Whip

First, add the milk and Cool Whip into a large mixing bowl or stand mixer. Whisk the two together until they form a smooth, creamy mixture. You’ll want to make sure the Cool Whip is fully thawed before you start to avoid any lumps.

Tip: I find that using a hand mixer or stand mixer helps get the mixture extra smooth, but if you don’t have one, a good ol’ whisk works just fine too!

Step 2: Add the Nutella

Once the milk and Cool Whip are well combined, it’s time to add in the Nutella. Spoon it in and whisk until everything is blended. You should see a rich, chocolatey mixture that’s smooth and creamy.

Tip: If the Nutella is a bit thick, you can microwave it for a few seconds to loosen it up before adding it to the mixture.

Step 3: Pour into Molds

Now that your mixture is ready, it’s time to fill your popsicle molds. Pour the Nutella Cool Whip mixture into each mold, leaving a little space at the top to account for expansion as they freeze.

Tip: I love using silicone molds because they make it so much easier to remove the popsicles once they’re frozen, but plastic molds work great too.

Step 4: Freeze for 6-10 Hours

Pop your molds in the freezer and let them freeze for 6-10 hours, or preferably overnight. The longer they freeze, the firmer and creamier they’ll be. Trust me, they’re totally worth the wait!

Step 5: Remove from Molds

When you’re ready to enjoy your popsicles, simply run warm water over the outside of the mold to help loosen them. Don’t pull too hard on the sticks, as the pops will come out more easily with a little water.

Tip: If you’re not sure they’re ready, wait a few extra minutes. The popsicles should slide out with ease when fully frozen.

Tips for the Best Nutella Cool Whip Popsicles

• Thaw the Cool Whip: Make sure your Cool Whip is thawed properly before mixing it with the milk to avoid any lumps. I usually let it sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes.
• Adjust the Sweetness: If you like your popsicles a little sweeter, feel free to add maple syrup or vanilla extract to the mixture. Nutella already adds a lot of sweetness, so taste the mixture before adding any extra sweeteners.
• Freeze Long Enough: For best results, make sure to freeze the popsicles for at least 6 hours or overnight. The longer they freeze, the creamier and firmer they will be.
• Add a Fun Twist: For an added crunch, sprinkle some chopped hazelnuts or mini chocolate chips into the popsicle mixture before freezing. You could even swirl in a bit of peanut butter for a fun twist on the flavor.
