Brown Sugar Oat Milk Espresso (Printer-Friendly)

Cool, creamy popsicles blend brown sugar, oat milk, and espresso layers with cinnamon for an energizing treat.

# What You’ll Need to Cook:

→ Base Ingredients

01 - 120 ml unsweetened oat milk

→ Brown Sugar Syrup

02 - 60 ml water
03 - 30 g light brown sugar
04 - 0.5 g ground cinnamon

→ Espresso Layer

05 - 80 ml freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee
06 - 2 ml pure vanilla extract

# Steps to Prepare:

01 - Pour 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of oat milk into the bottom of each of four popsicle molds. Place molds in the freezer and freeze for 1.5 hours until just set.
02 - In a small saucepan, bring 60 ml water to a boil. Remove from heat, add brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Stir until sugar is fully dissolved. Allow syrup to cool to room temperature.
03 - Brew 80 ml espresso or very strong coffee. Stir in vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool completely to room temperature.
04 - After oat milk layer is frozen, evenly distribute espresso-vanilla mixture among molds, directly over the frozen oat milk layer.
05 - Top each mold with equal amounts of cooled brown sugar syrup, ensuring all ingredients reach just below the rim, leaving room for expansion.
06 - Cover the popsicle molds, insert sticks, and freeze for a minimum of 6 hours or until solid. For best results, freeze overnight.
07 - To release popsicles, briefly run the base of each mold under warm water and gently extract. Serve immediately, or store individually in airtight freezer-safe bags.

# Extra Cooking Tips:

01 - For optimal texture and appearance, keep popsicle molds level while freezing.
02 - Oat milk must be certified gluten free if serving to those with gluten intolerance.
03 - Cinnamon particles may remain undissolved in the syrup—this is intended for added flavor.
04 - Allow popsicles to freeze overnight for the best structure and unmolding.
