The texture of this popsicle is creamy with slight icy finish that feels good. Coffee gives rich flavour while condensed milk adds sweetness and smooth texture. Milk balances everything and makes flavour mellower. Once frozen it comes out well with mild coffee taste in every bite. 

You can adjust coffee based on how strong you like it, you can add little cocoa powder for different flavour. It can also be made without creating layers and still tastes good. You can just mix everything together and freeze it. It turns out nice either way.

Expert Tips

• Coffee Strength – I usually adjust coffee quantity based on our preference. Add little extra if you like stronger coffee flavour.
• Cooling – I always cool coffee decoction fully before mixing. If it is still hot, milk mixture may not blend even.
• Layering – I freeze coffee layer first when making layered popsicles this helps layers stay separate and look better.
• Sweetness – I prefer tasting the mixture before pouring into moulds. Sometimes condensed milk itself gives enough sweetness. 
• Freezing Time – I make sure to freeze overnight whenever possible. This gives a firm texture and popsicles comes out well. 
• Unmoulding – I usually hold the mould under running water for few seconds, helps release the popsicle easily without breaking.
