Ingredients for Chocolate-Covered Ice Cream Bars
To make these bars, you’ll need:
- Ice Cream: Choose your favorite flavor, or try making homemade ice cream for an extra-special touch.
- Chocolate: Use high-quality dark, milk, or white chocolate.

Equipment Needed
- Ice cream molds (silicone molds work best) or a loaf pan lined with parchment paper
- Mixing bowls
- A small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl for melting chocolate
- A spatula or spoon for spreading the chocolate
Step-by-Step Recipe:
1. Prepare the Ice Cream Bars
- Allow your ice cream to soften slightly for easy scooping.
- Scoop the ice cream into molds, pressing down to ensure there are no air pockets. Insert a popsicle stick into each mold.
- Smooth the top with a spatula and freeze for at least 4 hours or until completely firm.
- If you don’t have molds, pour softened ice cream into a parchment-lined loaf pan, smooth the top, and freeze. Once solid, cut into bar shapes and insert sticks.
