Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and fine sea salt until completely smooth and no lumps remain.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or cocoa intensity as desired by adding a little more maple syrup or cocoa powder.
Pour the chocolate mixture evenly into 8 popsicle molds.
Insert sticks and freeze the pops for at least 5 hours, or until completely firm.
To unmold, briefly run the popsicle molds under warm water to loosen them, then gently remove the pops.

Tips

Sift the cocoa powder before mixing to avoid clumps for a smooth texture.
Use pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste for a richer vanilla flavor that complements the chocolate.
