Total Time 6 hours 10 minutes
Course Dessert, Snack
Servings 8 ice cream bars

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Food Processor

Ingredients
  

Ice Cream Bars

  • 1 14 oz can full fat coconut milk or coconut cream
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract (alcohol & sugar free)
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 5 large strawberries 

Coating

  • cup LesserEvil Strawberry Beet Lil’ Puffs (can sub freeze dried strawberries)
  • cup freeze dried strawberries 
  • cup vanilla gluten free crunchy cookies (I use Simple Mills Sweet Thins)

Instructions
 

  • In a blender, combine all ice cream bar ingredients and blend until smooth.
  • Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, cover and secure a popsicle stick into each mold.
  • Place the molds into the freezer for 6 hours or overnight, ensuring the ice cream bars are fully frozen.
  • Once ready to coat the bars, remove the popsicle molds from the freezer and add crunchy gluten free cookies to a food processor and pulse until small pieces are formed.
  • Then, add in the freeze dried strawberries and the LesserEvil Strawberry Beet Lil’ Puffs and pulse slightly, ensuring little pieces remain. You don’t want the full coating to be too powdery.
  • To remove the ice cream bars, run the molds under hot water, ensuring no water gets on the ice cream bars.
  • Remove the ice cream bars and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet, allowing them to thaw slightly.
  • Before coating each bar, you’ll want the exterior to be thawed and slightly melty, not icy, so that the coating will stick. If needed, you can use a wash rag with warm water and break up the ice on the exterior of the ice cream bar.
  • Place the coating in a shallow bowl, and one by one, place the ice cream bars into the coating, pressing gently and ensuring to cover all sides.
  • Once covered, return the ice cream bars to the baking sheet and place them back in the freezer for about 15 minutes to set.
  • Enjoy immediately after removing from the freezer! They can also be stored in the freezer in a glass container with a sealed lid.
