Chocolate Dipped Ice Cream Bars

Step 1

Scoop the softened ice cream/prepared no-churn ice cream mixture into a popsicle mold, filling up to the top. Ensure there are no gaps/air bubbles in each mold. Place the mold into the freezer for 40 minutes (set a timer!!!) and then insert a popsicle stick into each mold. Freeze the bars for 4-5 hours.

Step 2

In a microwave safe dish, melt the chocolate chips together with the coconut oil in 30 second increments, stirring until smooth and glossy. Allow the chocolate to come to room temperature.

Step 3

Remove the popsicle mold from the freezer. Run warm water over the base of the mold and then carefully extract each ice cream bar from the mold by pulling on the popsicle stick. Place the bars on a baking tray lined with wax paper** and return the tray to the freezer.

Step 4

One at a time, remove an ice cream bar from the freezer, dunk it into the chocolate up to the top of the stick, and then place the bar back into the freezer, on to the wax paper. Repeat with the remaining bars. Freeze for 1 hour before enjoying, or removing the bars from the tray and placing them in a freezer bag, sealing it tightly and storing it in the freezer for up to 2 months.
