Description
These homemade chocobar ice creams are creamy, nutty, and coated in a rich chocolate shell. Made with bananas, cashews, and coconut milk, they are a delicious frozen treat for warm days.
Ingredients
- 1 cup broken or whole cashews (140 gms, soaked in water for 10 minutes)
- 2–3 ripe bananas (approx. 220 gms)
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1 1/4 cups coconut milk (300 ml)
- 1 cup roughly chopped milk chocolate or dark chocolate (approx. 150 gms)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (30 ml)
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped almonds (optional)
Instructions
- Add soaked cashews, bananas, peanut butter, honey, vanilla essence, and coconut milk to a blender. Blend until completely smooth.
- Pour the mixture into popsicle moulds and insert ice cream sticks. Freeze for 8-10 hours or until firm.
- For the chocolate coating, combine chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring every minute until melted. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler over simmering water.
- Stir the chocolate mixture until smooth and thin enough for dipping, similar to pancake batter consistency.
- Mix in the chopped almonds if using, then cool the coating slightly and pour it into a tall glass or cup.
- To unmould the popsicles, dip each mould briefly into water and gently pull out the chocobar.
- Immediately dip each popsicle into the chocolate coating, ensuring all sides are coated evenly.
- Place the coated chocobars back in the freezer until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use dark chocolate for a richer and less sweet coating.
- You can replace honey with maple syrup for a vegan-friendly variation.
- Store the chocobars in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
- Work quickly while coating the popsicles to prevent melting.
