I’m ready for the beach, popsicles and a whole lot of granitas.
These popsicles are rich, creamy and they have a bite to them! A nice strong coffee flavor. Here’s the weird thing, I don’t even drink coffee. But I love the taste of coffee in ice cream, so I figured why not work it into some Mudslide Popsicles?
Aren’t you glad I did? Because these boozy popsicles are going to be a summer must!
If Baileys is a favorite, try these popsicles.
Or perhaps some brownie and caramel popsicles that are kid-friendly, click here.
Like margaritas? Then you have to try these peach and blackberry popsicles. Or, a tropical tequila sunrise version. I’ve got you covered.

- Total Time: 10 minutes plus freezing time
- Yield: 6 popsicles 1x
Description
Rich and creamy Mudslide Popsicles with a strong coffee flavor, perfect for a boozy summer treat.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup chocolate ice cream
- 1/2 cup chocolate milk
- 1/3 cup Kahlua
- 1/4 cup vodka
- 1/4 cup Irish cream
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee (use one with a good strong flavor like Starbucks Via French Roast)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 3/4 cup chocolate ice cream, 1/2 cup chocolate milk, 1/3 cup Kahlua, 1/4 cup vodka, 1/4 cup Irish cream, and 1 teaspoon instant coffee.
- Whisk the mixture until the ice cream is fully melted and all ingredients are well combined.
- Pour the mixture through a strainer to filter out any small clumps of instant coffee.
- Fill popsicle molds with the mixture, leaving a little space at the top for expansion.
- Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.
- To release the popsicles, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds and gently pull out the popsicles.
Notes
For a stronger coffee flavor, use a robust instant coffee like Starbucks Via French Roast. Ensure the mixture is well combined to prevent separation during freezing. These popsicles are best enjoyed immediately after being released from the molds. Store any leftovers in the freezer for up to a week.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the Baileys with another liqueur?
Yes, you can use a different cream liqueur or even a coffee liqueur like Kahlua to maintain the coffee flavor while adding a different twist.
What type of coffee should I use for the Mudslide Popsicles?
It’s best to use strong brewed coffee or espresso to ensure the coffee flavor stands out in the popsicles.
How long do the Mudslide Popsicles need to freeze?
Allow the popsicles to freeze for at least 4-6 hours to ensure they are fully set and easy to remove from the molds.
I made the Popsicles according to the recipe, froze them for 2 days, but they didn’t set. I suspect the. alcohol prevented them from freezing.
