Homemade Magnum Ice Cream Bars with Crunchy Almond Topping
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1/2 cup of sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup of chopped almonds
- 1/4 cup of sugar
- 1/4 cup of water
- 6 ounces of dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon of coconut oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold in 1/2 cup of sweetened condensed milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, filling each mold about 3/4 full. Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Cook, without stirring, until the mixture turns a deep amber color, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup of chopped almonds. Pour the almond mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and let it cool completely. Once cooled, break the almond brittle into small pieces.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 6 ounces of chopped dark chocolate and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Remove the frozen ice cream bars from the molds. Dip each bar into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Sprinkle the crunchy almond topping over the chocolate-coated bars. Place the bars on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for an additional 10-15 minutes to set the chocolate.
- Serve and enjoy your homemade Magnum ice cream bars with crunchy almond topping!
