Cannabis Fudgesicles Recipe: Infused Chocolate Popsicles Done Right

The short version

Cannabis fudgesicles are frozen chocolate popsicles made with infused milk, so every bite delivers a measured dose of THC. The recipe is simple, the ingredients are pantry staples, and the hardest part is waiting for them to freeze. Dose your infused milk first, then the math on each fudgesicle becomes easy.

Ingredients for cannabis fudgesicles

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup cocoa powder
• 1 and 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups infused whole milk (or regular milk if you are skipping the infusion)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional but recommended)

Whole milk gives the fudgesicles their rich, creamy mouthfeel. Lower-fat milk works but the texture gets icier. If you want a vegan version, full-fat coconut milk is the closest substitute and it carries infusion well.

How to make cannabis fudgesicles

Start with a heavy medium saucepan off the heat. Whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until no lumps remain. This dry-first step is the single biggest thing that prevents clumping later.

Whisk in just enough infused milk to form a smooth chocolate paste, then stream in the rest of the milk and whisk until fully combined. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture up to a simmer, whisking constantly. Once it simmers, keep whisking and cook for about 2 more minutes until the mixture thickens into a loose pudding. Pull it off the heat and whisk in the vanilla.

Pour the mixture into a pitcher or heat-safe bowl and let it cool for around 10 minutes, whisking once or twice so a skin does not form on top. Divide evenly into popsicle molds, tap the molds gently on the counter to release any trapped air bubbles, and insert the sticks. Freeze for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.

To unmold, run warm (not hot) water over the outside of the mold for 10 to 15 seconds, then pull the stick straight up. Hot water melts the outer layer too quickly and leaves you with fingerprints in the chocolate.

How to dose cannabis fudgesicles

Infusion strength lives entirely in the milk. If your infused milk tests at, say, 10 mg of THC per cup, the batch as a whole has 30 mg spread across however many fudgesicles your mold yields. A standard 6-cavity popsicle mold gives you 6 fudgesicles at 5 mg each. Label them immediately.

If you want a cleaner calculation, the DoseCraft app has this exact recipe loaded with an infusion calculator and a servings-per-batch calculator, so you can plug in your starting flower potency and land on a confident milligrams-per-fudgesicle number without doing the arithmetic in your head.

Tips that actually matter

• Whisk the dry ingredients first. Skipping this is the single biggest reason fudgesicles end up gritty or lumpy.
• Keep whisking through the simmer. The second you stop, the cornstarch settles and scorches on the bottom.
• Cool the base for the full 10 minutes before pouring. Hot liquid expands as it freezes and can crack molds or split cleanly from the stick.
• Tap the filled molds against the counter. Air bubbles make the finished fudgesicle look cratered and also change the freeze profile slightly.
• Freeze overnight whenever you can. 4 hours is the minimum, but fudgesicles pulled at the 4-hour mark are softer in the center and fall off the stick more easily.

Storage and shelf life

Cannabis fudgesicles keep for about 2 months in a sealed freezer bag or container. THC is stable in the freezer and you will not lose meaningful potency in that window. What you will lose is texture, so wrap them individually or layer with parchment so they do not stick to each other or pick up freezer smells.

Always label clearly. Infused desserts look identical to the non-infused versions, and a fudgesicle in the freezer is the easiest thing in the world to forget about.
