Blend the Base: Combine cashews, water, coconut nectar, chia seeds, and vanilla in a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Fill the Molds: Pour the mixture into ice pop molds, leaving a little room at the top. Freeze for about 8 hours or until solid.
Prepare the Chocolate Coating: Mix cacao powder, melted coconut oil, and a pinch of sea salt until smooth.
Coat the Bars: Once the bars are frozen, dip them into the chocolate coating, ensuring they’re fully covered. The chocolate will harden almost instantly.
Instructions For Homemade Eskimo Bars
Bake the Brownies: Follow your favorite recipe or use a mix. Once baked, let them cool completely before adding the ice cream layer.
Add Ice Cream: Spread softened vanilla ice cream over the cooled brownies. Freeze until firm.
Cut into Bars: Once the ice cream is solid, cut the brownies into squares.
Dip in Chocolate: Melt semisweet chocolate with coconut oil. Dip each bar into the chocolate and quickly place them on a lined baking sheet. Freeze again until the chocolate is set.
Notes
Here are some tips to ensure your ice cream bars turn out perfectly:
Use High-Quality Ingredients: The better the chocolate and vanilla, the tastier your bars will be.
Work Quickly: When dipping the bars in chocolate, move fast to prevent them from melting.
Customize: Feel free to add in extras like nuts or sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
