Brewing the Coffee
Start by brewing the coffee with the measured water. You should end up with about 1 1/2 cups of brewed coffee.

Combine the hot coffee and condensed milk in a measuring cup or large heatproof bowl with a spout. Whisk until evenly combined, then whisk in the cream. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours.
Freezing the Pops
Whisk the mixture again and divide it among the pop molds. Freeze until solid, at least 6 hours. Once frozen, your treats are ready to enjoy!
Yield and Difficulty
This recipe yields about 6 (4-ounce) ice pops and is rated easy in terms of difficulty. The total time required is 15 minutes, plus at least 8 hours of chilling and freezing time.
