Magnum ice cream bars are a popular store-bought confectionary of ice cream molded in popsicle form, coated with chocolate. There are many various flavors and they can be coated with nuts such peanuts, almonds or freeze-dried fruit. Store bought magnum ice creams, as tasty as they are, most of the time are NOT healthy. Unfortunately. So, guess what?! We are making them ourselves and making a healthier version of the classic.

The last time I bought a magnum ice cream I was looking forward to eating it after dinner at ice cream time! Unfortunately, it was pretty disappointing. It was overly sweet and all I could taste was sugar. So I took matters into my own hands and made a much healthier, dairy and refined sugar-free version, which I think is way more delicious!

Next time you buy some at the super market you can check the ingredients. You will be surprised by how many ingredients are used. Besides lots of chemicals and flavour extracts (or natural flavours!!) Yeah right! You will find a ton of sugar in them. This quickly loads up to about 20 g of sugar per ice cream. And all of this in one single ice cream!

Of course, not every single ice cream has this nutritional value, but there are simple and easy ways to choose a healthier ice cream, simply make it yourself. Elevate your treat game with a fusion of taste and wellness in every decadent bite. If you love magnum bars, but not all the sugar, this is the healthy dessert recipe for you! Indulge in nourishing delight with these healthy ice cream bars. Crafted with wholesome ingredients these homemade magnum bars provide a rich source of gut-loving fiber and skin-nourishing nutrients.

Ice cream is my favorite dessert! No doubt about it. And making homemade ice cream allows you to experiment and include just the ingredients and tastes that you like and prefer. These magnum popsicles are really easy and quick to make, it you don’t count the freeze time. You have a crunchy chocolate cover over a super healthy, creamy, vanilla ice cream. You can of course adapt the taste of the vanilla ice cream and make it chocolate, salted caramel or your favorite fruit flavor.

These magnums are perfect to serve for a delicious afternoon snack or dessert. They are rich, creamy, and not overly sweet, making them even more delicious (and way healthier) than the original.

Servings 6

Equipment

• 6 Popsicle sticks

Ingredients

• 2 bananas, sliced, frozen
• 1/4 cup thick Greek-style yogurt
• 1/4 cup almond (or your choice) milk
• 1/4 cup peanut (or any other nut or seed) butter
• 1/4 cup protein or collagen peptides powder
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate Coating

• 1 1/4 cups chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts for topping

Instructions

• Place bananas, yogurt, milk, peanut butter, protein powder, cocoa and vanilla extract into a food processor and process until smooth and creamy.

  Pour into popsicle molds (or ice cube trays if that’s all you have!). Place a popsicle stick in each one.

  Freeze for at least 4 hours or until solid.

Chocolate Coating

• Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in small dish and microwave with 20 second bursts stirring between each one until melted and smooth.

  Or use double boiler method - (pot of boiling water with a bowl resting on top) melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together.

  Once melted pour into a tall glass for easy dunking.

  Unmold frozen ice cream bars. Dip in melted chocolate and immediately top with chopped nuts of choice. Work quickly as due to the coconut oil in mixture, the chocolate will set very quickly.

  Enjoy immediately or keep frozen until ready to eat.

  Cover tightly in plastic wrap or keep in an airtight container in the freezer for several months.

  TIP: For the best results, leave the ice cream bars in the freezer until the very last second and take each bar out individually to coat/dip them in chocolate. The more frozen the bars are - the easier this step will be.
