For a mocha vibe, drizzle chocolate syrup between layers. - Mistake to Avoid
Don't overfill the molds! The coffee expands as it freezes, and you don’t want a sticky overflow. - Storage Tips
- These popsicles stay great in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Keep them tightly sealed to prevent freezer burn.
- If melting slightly, refreeze on a flat surface until firm again.
