Craving the perfect combination of creamy vanilla ice cream and rich chocolate? These homemade Eskimo Pie popsicles are a delightful frozen treat that brings nostalgia to your kitchen. With a luscious chocolate coating encasing smooth vanilla ice cream, these popsicles are easy to make and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Ice Cream Base:

  • 2 cups heavy cream

  • 1 cup whole milk

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Chocolate Coating:

  • 12 ounces high-quality semi-sweet chocolate chips (or dark/milk chocolate, based on preference)

  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil (helps the chocolate harden)

  • Optional toppings: chopped nuts, crushed cookies, or sprinkles

Instructions

Preparing the Ice Cream Base

  1. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until the sugar is fully dissolved.

  2. Chill the Mixture: Pour into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (typically 20-30 minutes) until reaching a soft-serve consistency.

  3. Mold the Ice Cream: Spoon the churned ice cream into popsicle molds, filling each to the top. Insert popsicle sticks. Freeze for at least 4-6 hours or overnight until completely firm.

Preparing the Chocolate Coating

  1. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring between each session until smooth.

  2. Cool the Chocolate: Allow the melted chocolate to cool to room temperature to prevent melting the popsicles.

Dipping the Popsicles

  1. Unmold the Popsicles: Once frozen solid, carefully remove the popsicles from their molds. If they stick, run the mold under warm water for a few seconds.

  2. Dip in Chocolate: Dip each popsicle into the melted, cooled chocolate, ensuring full coverage. Immediately add toppings if desired.

  3. Harden the Coating: Place the dipped popsicles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate hardens.

Notes

  • Experiment with Flavors: Try using different ice cream flavors like chocolate, mint, or cookies and cream.

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container with parchment paper between each popsicle to prevent sticking.

  • Troubleshooting: If chocolate is too thick, add more coconut oil for a thinner, smoother coating.
