Instructions
-
Prepare the Ice Cream Mixture:
-
Drain and rinse the soaked cashews.
-
In a high-speed blender, combine the coconut milk, soaked cashews, cooled coffee, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.

Fill the Molds:
-
Pour the blended mixture into ice cream bar molds, leaving a small space at the top for expansion.

Insert popsicle sticks into each mold.
-
Place the molds in the freezer and let them set for at least 4-6 hours, or until fully frozen.
-
-
Prepare the Chocolate Coating:
-
In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together using a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
-
Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly, but ensure it remains liquid.

-
Coat the Ice Cream Bars:
-
Once the ice cream bars are fully frozen, remove them from the molds.
-
Dip each bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring an even coating.
-
If desired, immediately sprinkle with chopped nuts, cacao nibs, or desiccated coconut before the chocolate sets.
-
Place the coated bars on a parchment-lined tray.

Return the tray to the freezer for about 10 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is firm.
