Ingredients for the almond chocolate coating

• 200 gr dark chocolate coverage.
• 2 teaspoons of butter or coconut oil (or lactose-free butter).

• 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract.
• Crispy almond cubes.

Preparation

We already know the recipe for homemade vanilla ice cream. But what you didn’t know is that the secret to getting a homemade chocolate almond popsicle is exactly the chocolate coating. So when you have our vanilla ice cream ready, follow this easy procedure:

• Dilute the dark chocolate covering with the coconut oil or lactose-free butter.
• Once you get a homogeneous mixture, add the teaspoon of vanilla and the crunchy almond cubes.
• Cover your popsicle with the chocolate mixture. The secret is in the coconut oil or butter along with the extreme temperature of the vanilla ice cream.
