Welcome

I am addicted to cooking and baking. I love to find and make delicious recipes. Sometimes I create my own and I post them here. Other times I find a recipe and adapt it. I have posted those recipes here as well. Enjoy.

CHOCOLATE COVERED ICE CREAM BARS/POPS


Ingredients:

Chocolate coating:
8 oz. premium chocolate, chopped
½ cup roasted almonds (optional)

Directions:
Pour ice cream into ice cream molds or plastic cups with plastic spoons inserted and aluminum foil over the top of the cup – with a slit cut out for the spoon to come through.  A popsicle stick will work in place of a plastic spoon, too.  FREEZE FOR 7 HOURS or until the ice cream is hard enough to come out of the molds or plastic cups and keep its shape.  In a double boiler or heavy saucepan, melt chocolate on low, stirring continuously, until it is nearly melted.  Remove from heat and continue stirring.  The chocolate will continue melting as you stir.  Let the chocolate cool a bit, but continue stirring it occasionally as it cools.
Remove the ice cream from the freezer individually. Run warm water over the molds to loosen and gently pull the mold off of the ice cream.

With a teaspoon, soup spoon or spatula, spoon chocolate over ice cream. (if desired, sprinkle almonds on chocolate).  Return to the freezer to let set, (3 minutes).  Enjoy.
