3️⃣ Cover the Ice Cream with Chocolate
- Shape the ice cream: Once the ice cream is completely frozen, remove it from the mold. You can cut it into bars or scoop into round portions using an ice cream scoop.
- Dip in chocolate: Working quickly, dip each ice cream portion into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Place each coated piece on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Set the coating: Transfer the tray to the refrigerator (or freezer) for about 10–15 minutes to allow the chocolate shell to harden completely.
Serving & Tips
- Serve immediately after chilling for a refreshing, decadent dessert.
- Store leftover chocolate-covered ice cream pieces in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
- For an extra twist, drizzle with white chocolate or sprinkle crushed nuts, coconut flakes, or sea salt over the freshly dipped chocolate before it sets.
- Use dark chocolate for a richer, more intense flavor, or milk chocolate for a sweeter, creamier finish.
