My 200th post is this tempting homemade Chocobar Icecream!… Never thought I will ever be a cook, writer and a blogger. But I am very happy sharing this ChocoBar Icecream recipe with all my viewers. I wanted to make something special for my 200th post hence made my favorite icecream Chocobar. I have been eating chocobar icecream since my childhood. I just love the crusty chocolate covering and the soft vanilla icecream inside. Hmmm my mouth is watering I just can’t resist these wonderful Chocobar delights 😉
However my chocobar got over so soon I didn’t get a chance to click some good snaps. But I will soon make more and update with better pics. I never knew I have such a talent called cooking in me. Until I started blogging. Life has always surprises stored for us. That’s what life is all about. Discovering oneself right?
I am quite thrilled so don’t wanna make you more curious. Lemme quickly share this recipe with all of you.

Gently remove the firm icecream popsicles. Gently roll them on the chocolate mixture. Once the icecream comes in contact with the chocolate mixture. It will firm up quickly. Now place them into fridge for sometime more Or whe you want to eat.
If you are using a icecream mould. Just pour the chocolate mixture over the mould. It will firm up. Place them in the fridge again.
Serve chilled Or slice them and serve them on a platter.
Tip:
- Please us good Popsicle brand as my brand was bad. The stick came out and the icecream stayed behind lols.
- You could just eat plain vanilla icecream if you don’t want outer crust.
- Also skip nuts if you don’t want them.

Thanks Sharon nice to know you enjoy cooking food 🙂 vanilla powder mainly comes in two forms one is synthetic which is white in color and the other is original vanilla bean powder which is brown in color. If you don’t get them in your area just use vanilla essence. Do try and lemme know how was it?
Take care 🙂
