Ingredients

Vanilla Ice Cream Base

• 1 cup fresh cream
• 200 g condensed milk
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• A pinch of agar agar (optional)
• 5–6 chocolate cookies, crushed

Chocolate Coating

• ¾ cup dark chocolate, melted
• 10 ml refined oil
• 5–6 almonds, chopped
• Chocolate sprinkles

Method

Gently boil fresh cream in a saucepan, then add condensed milk and stir continuously. Once combined, remove from heat and mix in vanilla essence. You may add agar agar to help the ice cream hold its texture. Fold in crushed cookies, pour the mixture into ice trays lined with cookie crumbs, and freeze for three to four hours until firm.

For the coating, melt dark chocolate with refined oil in the microwave, stirring at intervals until smooth. Once the ice cream has set, insert sticks into each mold and carefully dip the bars into the melted chocolate. Let the excess drip off, then garnish with chopped almonds, sprinkles, or vermicelli.

Serving

The finished choco bar offers a perfect balance of creamy vanilla and crunchy chocolate. Serve chilled for a refreshing treat that brings back the joy of childhood summers.
