Equipment

  • food processor or blender
  • ice cream molds
  • popsicle sticks

Ingredients
  

Ice Cream Ingredients

  • 1 cup coconut cream
  • ½ cup of cashews 77 grams
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Caramel Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup coconut cream 100 g
  • ½ cup coconut sugar 100 g
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Chocolate Shell Ingredients

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • To a blender, add all of the ice cream ingredients. Blend for several minutes, until you get a very smooth and creamy texture.
  • Take your ice cream molds and place the popsicle sticks inside. Divide the ice cream into four equal parts among the popsicle molds. Place them in the freezer to harden.
  • Now it's time to make the caramel. Add all of the caramel ingredients to a pan over medium heat.
  • Cook them for 4-5 minutes, until all of the sugar has melted and the ingredients form a thick, caramel sauce.
  • Remove the ice cream molds from the freezer, and add caramel to each ice cream mold.
  • Place them in the freezer again, this time overnight or for at least 6-7 hours, until they are fully frozen.
  • To create the chocolate shell, melt the chocolate chips.
  • Place them in a tall cup (big enough for the ice creams to fit), then microwave them for 30 seconds.
  • Remove the chips from the microwave, stir them with a fork, and microwave for another 30 seconds.
  • Repeat this process until all of the chocolate has melted. This may time 4-5 times.
  • Remove each ice cream bar from the freezer and remove it from the mold. Dip each ice cream all the way into the melted chocolate, until it is fully covered.
  • Then place the ice cream on a plate and place it back in the freezer.
  • Repeat this until all of the ice cream bars are fully covered in chocolate.
  • Once the chocolate hardens in the freezer, you can dig in and enjoy!
