# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
6 store-bought frozen ice cream sandwiches
02 -
1 pound chocolate melting wafers (or substitute with 12 oz chocolate chips plus 2 tablespoons coconut oil)
03 -
2 tablespoons festive colored sprinkles in red, white, and blue
# Instructions:
01 -
Carefully unwrap each frozen ice cream sandwich and gently push a popsicle stick into one end. Arrange them on a parchment paper-lined tray and pop back into the freezer while you prepare the chocolate coating.
02 -
Using a double boiler, melt your chocolate wafers according to package instructions until completely smooth and glossy. If using chocolate chips, combine them with coconut oil before melting for a silky finish.
03 -
Working quickly with one or two sandwiches at a time, dip each frozen treat into the warm chocolate, making sure to coat all sides evenly. Use a spoon to drizzle extra chocolate if needed to cover completely.
04 -
While the chocolate is still wet, generously sprinkle with your patriotic red, white, and blue decorations. Return the decorated treats to the freezer-lined tray and freeze until the chocolate sets completely before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
The exact number of sandwiches and amount of chocolate needed can vary based on the size of your ice cream sandwiches, so feel free to adjust quantities as needed.
02 -
Set up all your materials before starting since you'll be working with warm chocolate and frozen treats - timing is everything!
03 -
Keep your remaining sandwiches in the freezer and work with just a couple at a time to prevent melting.
04 -
Keep your melted chocolate warm over the double boiler throughout the dipping process to maintain the perfect consistency.
