Serves: 8 pops
Ingredients
- 8 ice cream sandwiches
- 8 popsicle sticks
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup sprinkles
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients and equipment. Ensure you have 8 ice cream sandwiches, 8 popsicle sticks, 1 cup of chocolate chips, and 1/2 cup of sprinkles ready for use.
- Unwrap each ice cream sandwich carefully to avoid breaking them. Place them on a clean cutting board or a large plate.
- Once all the ice cream sandwiches are unwrapped, take a popsicle stick and gently insert it into one end of each sandwich. Push it in until it is about halfway through the sandwich, ensuring it is secure.
- Next, melt the chocolate chips. You can do this using a microwave or a double boiler. If using a microwave, place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat them in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
- Once the chocolate is melted, take each ice cream sandwich pop and dip it into the melted chocolate. Ensure that the chocolate coats the sandwich evenly. You can use a spoon to help spread the chocolate if necessary.
- After dipping, immediately sprinkle the chocolate-coated sandwich with the sprinkles. You can hold the pop over a bowl of sprinkles to catch any excess that falls off.
- Repeat the dipping and sprinkling process for all 8 ice cream sandwich pops. Make sure to work quickly so the chocolate doesn’t harden before you add the sprinkles.
- Once all the pops are coated and decorated, place them upright in a cup or a tall glass to allow the chocolate to set. You can also place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet if you prefer.
- Let the pops sit at room temperature for a few minutes to allow the chocolate to firm up slightly. If you want to speed up the process, you can place them in the freezer for about 5-10 minutes.
- Once the chocolate has set, your Ice Cream Sandwich Pops are ready to be enjoyed! Serve immediately or store them in an airtight container in the freezer until you’re ready to serve.
Tips
- Work quickly when handling ice cream sandwiches to prevent melting. Keep them slightly frozen for easier handling.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for a smoother, more luxurious coating.
- Choose colorful sprinkles to make your pops visually appealing and fun.
- If the chocolate starts to harden while dipping, gently reheat it.
- For a neater look, use a deep, narrow container for chocolate dipping.
- Experiment with different sprinkle colors and types to match party themes or seasons.
- Store pops in the freezer for up to a week in an airtight container.
- For an extra touch, try drizzling white chocolate over the dark chocolate coating.
