Whether you're cooling off on a hot day or satisfying a late-night chocolate craving, these homemade chocobars are guaranteed to impress!
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk and almond milk over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Whisk together the cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt in a small bowl.
Slowly add the dry mixture to the saucepan with milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
Stir in the maple syrup and continue to cook the mixture until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then pour it into an ice pop mold.
Insert ice cream sticks into each mold and freeze for at least 4 hours or until completely set.
Once the ice cream has set, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl at 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
Remove the ice pops from the mold and dip them into the melted chocolate to coat. Let excess drip off and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Return the chocobars to the freezer for an additional 10 minutes to set the chocolate coating.
Serve immediately or store in airtight container in freezer for up to a week.
