Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups raw cashews, soaked for 4–6 hours or in hot water for 1 hour
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk (from a can)
- 0.5 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee, cooled
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 0.5 cup maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Coating Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups vegan dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Instructions
- Prepare cashews by draining after soaking, ensuring they are soft and ready for blending.
- Combine cashews, coconut milk, coffee, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt in a high-powered blender, processing until the mixture achieves a luxuriously smooth and velvety consistency.
- Transfer the creamy liquid into specialized silicone popsicle molds, carefully inserting wooden sticks into each compartment.
- Place the filled molds in the freezer, allowing the mixture to solidify completely for a minimum of 6 hours, with overnight freezing recommended for optimal texture.
- Create the chocolate coating by gently melting chocolate chips together with coconut oil, stirring continuously until the mixture becomes uniformly glossy and fluid.
- Allow the chocolate mixture to cool slightly, maintaining a pourable yet not scorching temperature.
- Carefully extract the frozen ice cream bars from their molds, working quickly to prevent melting.
- Dip each frozen bar into the prepared chocolate shell, ensuring an even coating and allowing excess chocolate to drip off naturally.
- Arrange the chocolate-coated bars on a parchment-lined baking sheet, taking care to prevent them from touching.
- Return the dipped bars to the freezer for an additional 10-15 minutes to guarantee complete chocolate shell solidification.
Notes
- Soak cashews overnight or for at least 4 hours to ensure a super smooth, creamy texture that blends perfectly without any graininess.
- Use fresh, high-quality coffee for an intense flavor boost that complements the rich chocolate coating.
- Opt for dark chocolate chips with 70% cocoa content to create a deeper, more sophisticated taste profile that isn’t overly sweet.
- Freeze popsicle molds completely flat to prevent uneven ice cream bars and ensure a professional-looking final product.
