Description
Creamy strawberry swirl ice cream bars dipped in a crisp dark chocolate shell for the ultimate frozen dessert with a satisfying chocolate snap.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream (slightly softened)
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam or preserves
- 1 cup fresh strawberries (finely diced)
- 2 cups dark chocolate chips
- 3 tbsp refined coconut oil
- 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup crushed almonds, walnuts, or pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Fold the diced strawberries gently into the softened vanilla ice cream.
- Fill popsicle molds halfway with the ice cream mixture.
- Add a spoonful of strawberry jam into the center of each mold.
- Cover with the remaining ice cream and smooth the tops.
- Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for 4 to 6 hours until solid.
- Combine dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and melted.
- Whisk in the cocoa powder until glossy.
- Pour the melted chocolate into a tall glass and cool slightly.
- Remove the frozen ice cream bars from the molds.
- Dip each bar completely into the melted chocolate.
- Sprinkle crushed nuts on top immediately if using.
- Place the coated bars on a parchment-lined tray.
- Freeze for another 30 minutes until the chocolate shell is fully set.
- Serve cold.
Notes
Work quickly when dipping the frozen bars so the chocolate shell hardens instantly. Refined coconut oil keeps the chocolate coating smooth and crackly.
