Drumstick Bars
Drumstick Bars are a delicious frozen treat inspired by the classic Drumstick ice cream cones. They feature layers of crunchy chocolate coating, creamy vanilla ice cream, and a surprise filling in the center. Here's how you can make them at home:
Ingredients:
For the Bars:
- 12 sugar cones
- 1 quart vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
For the Filling:
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as peanuts or almonds), toasted
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce or dulce de leche
For the Chocolate Coating:
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil or vegetable oil
Instructions:
Prepare the Cones:
- Place the sugar cones in a zip-top plastic bag and crush them into small pieces using a rolling pin or the back of a spoon.
- Spread the crushed cones evenly on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to create a crust layer.
Make the Filling:
- In a small bowl, mix together the chopped nuts, chocolate chips, and caramel sauce.
- Spread the filling evenly over the crushed cone crust layer.
Layer the Ice Cream:
- Spoon the slightly softened vanilla ice cream over the filling layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the ice cream is firm.
Cut into Bars:
- Once the ice cream is frozen solid, remove the dish from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the frozen dessert into bars or squares.
Prepare the Chocolate Coating:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Coat the Bars:
- Dip each bar into the melted chocolate coating, using a fork to fully coat it.
- Place the coated bars on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Freeze Again:
- Once all the bars are coated, return them to the freezer and freeze for an additional 30 minutes to set the chocolate coating.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the Drumstick Bars straight from the freezer as a refreshing and indulgent treat.
These Drumstick Bars are perfect for summer parties, picnics, or anytime you want to enjoy the classic flavors of a Drumstick ice cream cone in a convenient bar form!
