- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
- 1 cup vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate

Instructions
- TIP: 24 hours prior to making the ice cream, place the churning bowl from your ice cream maker into the freezer.
- Place the coconut cream, yogurt, maple syrup and vanilla into a bowl and whisk until smooth. Transfer to the ice cream maker (churning bowl fresh out of the freezer) and churn for 10-15 minutes. The ice cream should be thick.
- Use a cookie scooper to scoop ice cream into the molds. Insert a popsicle stick and freeze overnight.
- Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together until smooth in a double boiler or using a microwave in 20 second increments, stirring between each until smooth. Stir in the chopped almonds.
- Dip each ice cream bar into the chocolate until completely coated and place them on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper or parchment paper. Freeze for an additional 5 minutes before serving.
