Ingredients

  • 250 ml (1 cup) espresso, cooled
  • 1 x 395 g can (1¼ cups) sweetened condensed milk
  • 180 ml (¾ cup) thickened cream
Coffee syrup
  • 60 ml (¼ cup) espresso
  • 55 g (¼ cup) caster sugar
  • 175 g (½ cup) liquid glucose
Cooling time 30 minutes

Freezing time 5 hours

You will need 6 icy pole sticks and 6 x 125 ml dariole moulds for this recipe.

Instructions

Combine espresso, condensed milk and cream in a large jug and stir until combined. Divide equally among 6 x 125 ml dariole moulds, then freeze for 2 hours.

Insert icy pole sticks in the centre of each, then freeze for a further 3 hours or until frozen.

Meanwhile, to make coffee syrup, place espresso, sugar and glucose in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Bring to a simmer, then cook for 15 minutes or until slightly reduced. Remove from heat and cool completely (mixture will thicken considerably).

To serve, remove from moulds and dip tops into coffee syrup.
