🥄 Ingredients:
🍨 For the Ice Cream Base:
2 cups vanilla ice cream (slightly softened)
1/2 cup crushed cookies, nuts, or sprinkles (optional)
🍫 For the Chocolate Coating:
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons coconut oil
🍒 Optional Toppings:
Crushed nuts, sprinkles, or shredded coconut
🥣 Directions:
- 🍨 Prepare the Ice Cream Bars:
- Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.
- Spread the softened vanilla ice cream evenly into the pan. If desired, mix in crushed cookies, nuts, or sprinkles for added texture.
- Freeze the ice cream for at least 2 hours or until completely firm.
- 🍫 Cut and Skewer:
- Remove the ice cream from the pan and cut it into bars or squares.
- Insert a wooden popsicle stick into each bar. Return to the freezer while preparing the chocolate coating.
- 🍫 Make the Chocolate Coating:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy.
- Let the chocolate cool slightly to avoid melting the ice cream.
- 🍒 Coat the Bars:
- Dip each ice cream bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Quickly sprinkle with crushed nuts, sprinkles, or coconut before the chocolate hardens.
- Place the coated bars on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for another hour.
- 🍨 Serve and Enjoy:
- Once fully set, serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer.
