Begin by placing a medium saucepan over medium heat. Pour in the full-fat coconut milk and add the cocoa powder, whisking constantly until the cocoa is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Add the coconut sugar and a pinch of salt to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and almond milk until well combined.
Let the mixture cool to room temperature. Once cooled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
While the ice cream is churning, prepare the chocolate coating. Melt the gluten-free dark chocolate chips with the coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is completely smooth.
Once the ice cream is done churning, spoon it evenly into 8 ice cream molds, gently tapping to eliminate air pockets.
Insert the gluten-free ice cream sticks into each mold and freeze for at least 4 hours or until completely solid.
Once frozen, dip each ice cream bar into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Repeat the chocolate dipping process for each bar and freeze for an additional 30 minutes.
Serve the chocobar ice cream straight from the freezer and enjoy!
