Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Bars
As a kid, I loved getting ice cream off the ice cream truck and the strawberry shortcake ice cream bar was my absolute favorite. Unfortunately, that is not gluten-free. Luckily this Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Bar is a delicious chocolatey take on the classic bar I used to eat as a kid. This recipe makes 6 and is the perfect treat for the summer.
To make this recipe you combine the coconut milk, strawberry extract, and strawberries in a blender and blend until smooth. Then you pour the mixture into the popsicle molds and insert the sticks and freeze for at least 6 hours. While the ice cream is freezing you place the Home Free Vanila Cookies and freeze-dried strawberries in the food processor and pulse until the mixture is crumbly. Then you pour some melted chocolate in a cup and dip the ice cream pops into the chocolate. After the ice cream is coated in chocolate you add the cookie mixture on top of the chocolate and then you place back in the freezer for 30 minutes. Once the chocolate is hard and cold, they are ready to be enjoyed.
