If you’re a fan of indulgent, chocolate-dipped ice cream bars, you’re going to love these homemade Magnum-style ice cream bars. Made with only a few simple ingredients, they’re creamy on the inside, crunchy on the outside, and customizable with toppings like almonds, sprinkles, or even caramel drizzle.
🧊 Ingredients
-
1 cup heavy cream
-
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
-
1 cup melted chocolate (milk or dark, your choice)
-
Chopped almonds (optional, for topping)
-
Ice cream bar molds + sticks
📝 Instructions
1. Make the Creamy Base
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk until fully combined and smooth. This no-churn base is rich, velvety, and holds up beautifully when frozen.
2. Fill & Freeze
-
Pour the mixture into ice cream molds and insert sticks.
-
Smooth the tops if needed.
-
Freeze for at least 6 hours (or overnight) until fully solid.
3. Chocolate Coating
-
Melt the chocolate in a bowl (use a double boiler or microwave in 30-sec bursts, stirring in between).
-
Remove the frozen bars from the molds carefully.
-
Quickly dip each bar into the melted chocolate, turning to coat completely.
✅ Pro Tip: Use a tall glass or narrow container to dip easily in one go.
4. Add Crunch (Optional)
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with chopped almonds (or other toppings like crushed cookies, shredded coconut, or freeze-dried berries).
5. Final Freeze
Place the dipped bars on a parchment-lined tray and return to the freezer for 15 minutes to set the chocolate.
🍦 Storage Tips
-
Keep bars in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
-
Place parchment paper between them to avoid sticking.
🎨 Flavor Variations
-
Strawberry swirl: Add a teaspoon of strawberry jam to the cream mix.
-
Caramel core: Drop a bit of caramel sauce in the center before freezing.
-
Mint chocolate: Add 1/2 tsp mint extract to the base.
