Description
Delightful dairy-free protein ice cream bars that combine rich coconut cream and sunbutter for a healthy, indulgent treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup sunbutter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup hemp protein powder
- 2 dropperfuls CBD oil (optional)
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil
- 2 dropperfuls CBD oil (optional)
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut cream and 1/4 cup of dark chocolate chips. Stir occasionally until completely melted, about 3-5 minutes.
- Mix the filling: Remove from heat and mix in sunbutter, maple syrup, vanilla, hemp protein powder, and CBD oil (if using). Whisk until smooth, about 1 minute.
- Pour into molds: Pour the filling into silicone popsicle molds, filling them about 3/4 full. Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Prepare chocolate coating: While the filling is freezing, melt the remaining 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips with 1 Tbsp coconut oil in the same saucepan.
- Dip the bars: Once frozen, remove the ice cream bars from the molds and dip each bar into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
- Lay to cool: Place the dipped bars on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Add toppings (optional): While warm, sprinkle on toppings like flaked salt, sprinkles, or chia seeds.
- Freeze: Return the bars to the freezer for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate shell is solid.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately or store in an airtight bag in the freezer for up to two months.
Notes
Use high-quality coconut cream and maintain low heat while melting chocolate to avoid seizing.
