Servings: 8 bars
Equipment
Ingredients
For Ice Cream Base
- 2 cups mango chunks
- 1 can full fat coconut milk
- 2 - 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
For Chocolate Coating
- ½ cup white chocolate
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 - 3 tbsp unsweetenend coconut flakes options
Instructions
- Add the mangoes, coconut milk, and maple syrup to a high-powered blender and blend until completely smooth. You'll want to blend it well to ensure that all of the mango chunks are fully broken down and smooth.
- Place ice cream molds on top of a baking tray for easy transferring and pour the mango coconut filling evenly into ice cream molds. Place the molds in the freezer for 2 to 3 hours, or until the bars are completely frozen.
- Once you're ready to dip the bars, add the white chocolate to a bowl or cup along with 1 to 2 tablespoons of coconut oil. Microwave the chocolate for 30 seconds and stir it. Microwave in 10-second increments, stirring in between each time until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. You'll want to make sure the chocolate is completely liquid and smooth, so add a little more coconut oil if needed.
- Dip each frozen bar into the melted chocolate and place the dipped bars onto a parchment paper-lined pan. You can dip the bars fully, halfway, or just drizzle a little chocolate on top of the bars. Sprinkle with shredded coconut if desired.
Notes
- Make sure to use full-fat, canned coconut milk and not low-fat coconut milk so that the bars are creamy when frozen and not icy in texture.
- Use a high-powered blender to make sure that the nuts are fully blended and smooth. I love using this nutribullet blender.
- Make sure that the bars are completely frozen in the ice cream molds before dipping them into the chocolate mixture. If the bars are melting, the chocolate will not stick properly to the bars, so keep them in the freezer right until you're ready to dip.
- If you prefer to use less chocolate, you can either dip the bars halfway or drizzle a little chocolate on top of the bars. You may also serve the bars as is!
