Yield: 8 bars
Temp: Frozen
Time: 15 minutes prep + freeze

Key Ingredients First:

  • Strawberry ice cream
  • Fresh strawberries
  • White chocolate

Ingredients

  • 3 cups strawberry ice cream, softened
  • 1 cup fresh diced strawberries
  • 1 cup white chocolate, melted
  • 1 ½ cups shortbread or vanilla cookie crumbs
  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • Popsicle sticks

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ice Cream Layer
    In a bowl, mix softened strawberry ice cream with diced fresh strawberries. The creamy fruit base brings the classic flavor people love in summer ice cream recipes and quick frozen desserts.
  2. Fill the Molds
    Spoon the mixture into popsicle molds, tap to remove air bubbles, and insert sticks.
  3. Freeze Until Firm
    Freeze for at least 4–6 hours, or until completely solid.
  4. Make the Shortcake Coating
    Mix cookie crumbs with melted butter to create the signature shortcake crumble.
  5. Dip in White Chocolate
    Release the frozen bars from the molds. Dip each bar halfway into melted white chocolate.
  6. Coat With Crumble
    Immediately press the shortcake crumbs onto the chocolate before it sets.
  7. Freeze Briefly & Serve
    Freeze for 10 minutes to firm up the coating, then serve.

Serving Ideas

  • Drizzle with extra white chocolate for a bakery-style finish.
  • Add freeze-dried strawberries to the crumble for extra flavor.
  • Make a mixed batch using vanilla, mango, or raspberry ice cream.

These bars are perfect for readers searching for homemade ice cream bars, copycat frozen treats, and kid-friendly summer snacks.

Tips

  • Soften ice cream just enough to mix — not melted.
  • Use silicone molds for the easiest release.
  • Keep the bars in the freezer until serving for the best texture.
