Ice cream bars are one of the truest signs of summer. Rich, creamy, and incredibly convenient, ice cream bars are beyond simple to make at home and you can effortlessly customize the flavors and coatings—whether you use a store-bought base or make your own ice cream. Why figure out what you would do for a Klondike bar when you can satisfy your craving with a few of these easy recipes?
We threw in a few healthy twists too, but you can make any ice cream bar dairy-free if you just pick a non-dairy pint and appropriate coating ingredients. Stick optional in any case.
