Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

For the Popsicles

4 cups vanilla ice cream slightly softened
8 popsicle sticks

For the Chocolate Shell

2 cups 350g semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons coconut oil

Equipment

8 Popsicle molds shapes and holds the ice cream as it freezes solid
8 Popsicle sticks anchors each popsicle for easy dipping and eating
1 Microwave safe bowl or double boiler melts the chocolate and coconut oil smoothly
1 Parchment lined baking sheet catches drips and keeps dipped popsicles from sticking
1 Freezer space needed for both the initial freeze and the final chocolate setting step

Method

Scoop softened ice cream into popsicle molds and insert sticks.
Freeze for at least 4 hours, until completely solid.
Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil together until smooth.
Release popsicles from molds using warm water.
Dip each popsicle into the melted chocolate, coating evenly.
Place on parchment paper and freeze 10 to 15 minutes to set the shell.

Notes

Freeze popsicles fully solid, at least 4 hours, before dipping for the best results.
Do not skip the coconut oil, since it is what gives the shell its signature quick hardening snap.
Work in small batches while dipping to keep the ice cream from softening too much.
Chill your popsicle molds briefly before filling to help the ice cream set faster and reduce melting.

STORAGE: Store wrapped individually in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
