Ingredients
Scale
- 225 g (8 oz) dark chocolate chips (sugar-free)
- 120 ml (½ cup or 4 fl oz) heavy cream (or full-fat coconut milk for dairy-free)
- 180 ml (¾ cup or 6 fl oz) unsweetened almond milk
- 50 g (¼ cup) monk fruit allulose blend
- 5 ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract
- 22 g (1.5 tbsps) coconut oil
Instructions
- Blend Base: Whisk almond milk, heavy cream, sweetener, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until perfectly smooth and fully integrated.
- Mold Preparation: Insert popsicle sticks into silicone molds, then carefully distribute the liquid mixture evenly across each cavity, ensuring consistent volume.
- Initial Freezing: Situate molds in the freezer and allow to solidify completely for 8-12 hours, maintaining a steady temperature for optimal texture and structure.
- Chocolate Coating: Microwave dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring until achieving a glossy, uniform melted consistency, then let cool to room temperature.
- Coating Process: Remove frozen bars from molds, quickly dip each into the tempered chocolate using a spoon for comprehensive coverage, ensuring a thin, even layer.
- Final Freezing: Immediately return chocolate-coated bars to the freezer, preserving their crisp exterior and preventing potential melting, continuing until all bars are processed.
Notes
- Freeze Timing: Allow 8+ hours of freezing for perfect texture, ensuring bars set completely solid without ice crystals.
- Chocolate Coating Technique: Cool melted chocolate to room temperature for smooth, even coverage and prevent rapid melting when dipping frozen bars.
- Mold Selection Matters: Use high-quality silicone popsicle molds for easy removal and professional-looking ice cream bars without breaking.
- Smooth Blending Trick: Whisk liquid ingredients thoroughly to eliminate sweetener clumps and create a consistently creamy base that freezes uniformly.
