Step-by-Step Professional Preparation

  1. Dairy mixture: Heat the milk and cream in a saucepan. The cream adds a special richness to the final texture of the ice lolly.

  2. Chocolate integration: Once the mixture is hot, add the chopped chocolate and stir well until it is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

  3. Sweetening and thickening: Add the Castelló 1:1 Stevia + Erythritol and the fine corn flour, stirring constantly to avoid lumps and ensure the ingredients blend perfectly.

  4. Pre-cooling: Let the mixture cool to room temperature before moving on to the next step.

  5. Freezing: Pour the mixture into ice lolly molds. Place the molds in the freezer and leave them for 4 to 6 hours.

  6. Technical unmolding: To remove the ice lollies easily, run the mold under hot water for a few seconds before gently pulling on the stick.
