Equipment

  • Square Silicone Molds or 8x8 Glass Dish
  • Baking Sheet

Ingredients
  

Dairy-Free Vanilla Ice Cream

  • 2+½ Cups Frozen Bananas
  • 13.5 Ounces Full Fat Coconut Milk
  • 2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • ¼ Teaspoon Salt

Chocolate Shell

  • 1+½ Cups Dark Chocolate
  • 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil

Instructions
 

Dairy-Free Vanilla Ice Cream

  • 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 10-15 minutes before you enjoy!
