Chocolate Coating

  • 200 grams dark chocolate couverture or any melting chocolate

Instructions

  • Pour the whipping cream or heavy cream into a wide-mouth pitcher or mixing bowl.

  • Place small marshmallows, chocolate chips, crushed peanuts, or any preferred fillings into each mold.
  • Insert the popsicle sticks.

  • Microwave for 10 seconds.
  • Stir thoroughly.
  • Microwave again for another 10 seconds.

  • Transfer the melted chocolate into a tall glass for easier dipping.
  • Remove the frozen ice cream bars from their molds.
  • Quickly remove any ice crystals from the surface.
  • Dip each frozen ice cream into the cooled melted chocolate.
