Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups full-fat coconut milk
- 0.5 cup cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup pure maple syrup
- 0.75 cup dark chocolate chips (vegan)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mixed nuts (such as almonds, hazelnuts, and cashews), chopped
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, cocoa powder, and maple syrup. Place over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture is smooth and begins to simmer. Remove from heat.
Stir in the vegan dark chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and salt into the warm coconut milk mixture. Continue stirring until the chocolate chips have completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then pour it evenly into ice cream bar molds.
Evenly distribute the chopped mixed nuts into each mold, gently pressing down so they are fully submerged in the chocolate mixture.
Insert sticks into the molds, ensuring they are centered.
Place molds in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
To remove bars from the molds, briefly run warm water over the outsides of the molds to loosen.
Once removed, optionally drizzle with a mixture of melted coconut oil and additional vegan chocolate chips if desired, for extra chocolaty coating.
Return any remaining bars to the freezer to set for a few additional minutes if they become soft while unmolding.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
