In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.
Stir the mixture until the sugar is completely dissolved and the liquid is heated through, but do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and 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, usually about 20-25 minutes.
While the ice cream is churning, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Once the ice cream has finished churning, quickly transfer it into ice pop molds, filling each mold about three-quarters full.
Insert wooden sticks into each mold and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm.
Once frozen, remove the ice cream bars from the molds. Dip each bar into the melted chocolate mixture, letting any excess chocolate drip off.
Place the chocolate-dipped bars on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and return them to the freezer for an additional hour, until the chocolate is set.
Store the nut-free chocobar ice creams in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy!
