Dairy Free Klondike Bars are a nostalgic treat made with healthier ingredients! The homemade vanilla ice cream is rich, creamy, and only takes a few minutes to make in the blender. They're the perfect treat for a hot summer day!
Start by adding the entire can of full fat coconut milk, frozen bananas, and vanilla extract, and salt into a blender.
Blend on a low speed until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the edges as needed.
Freeze
Place the silicone molds on a baking tray or cutting board then pour the creamy ice cream mixture into each square mold.
Freeze the ice cream bars for about 2 hours or until the ice cream feels firm.
Chocolate Shell
Once frozen, pop out each ice cream bar from the silicone molds and place on a parchment paper lined tray. Put them back in the freezer while you prepare the chocolate.
Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil into a small bowl and microwave in 15-20 second increments, stirring in between until silky smooth.
Finally, remove the ice cream bars from the freezer and dip each one in the melted chocolate using two forks. Let the excess chocolate drip off before adding them back to the parchment paper lined baking sheet.
After they're coated with chocolate, place them back into the freezer to set for a few minutes. (Optional - drizzle with extra chocolate!)
Notes
Expert Tips
Make sure the chocolate bowl is wide enough to fit the ice cream bars.
For a thicker chocolate coating, double dip the bars, or drizzle extra chocolate on top!
Use two forks to dip the ice cream bars into the melted chocolate. It allows the excess chocolate to dip off the edges.
If you want smaller serving sizes for kids, you can cut the ice cream bars into smaller shapes or use smaller silicone molds before dipping them into the chocolate!
How to store leftovers
After the ice cream bars have set on the parchment paper, you can transfer them to a freezer safe container with a cover.After you remove from the freezer, I recommend letting them sit out on the counter for 10-15minutes before you enjoy!
