Preparation
Shape the Ice Cream Bars:
Scoop your favorite ice cream into molds or form into bars using a spoon.
Insert a popsicle stick into each one and freeze until solid (about 2-3 hours).
Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and glossy.
Dip the Ice Cream Bars:
Once the ice cream is frozen solid, dip each bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring full coverage.
Add Toppings Quickly:
Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle on crushed nuts, cookies, or sprinkles.
For a fancy look, drizzle with white chocolate or caramel!
Refreeze to Set:
Place the chocolate-dipped bars back in the freezer for 30 minutes until fully hardened.
Enjoy Your Cool Treat!
Once solid, take them out and indulge in your homemade ice cream bars!
Pro Tips & Variations: Extra Crunch? Mix coconut flakes or crushed pretzels into the chocolate.
