Taking The Stress Out Of Gluten-Free Grain-Free & Dairy-Free Living
Mud Pie Ice Cream Pops
Mud Pie Ice Cream Pops
*Makes 8 Pops
1 Pint Salted Caramel & Chocolate ~ Coconut Bliss Ice Cream
1 Pint Naked Coconut ~ Coconut Bliss Ice Cream
About 1/2 Cup Roasted Salted Peanuts, roughly chopped
About 8 Tablespoons Crunchy Peanut Butter
3-4 oz. Dark Belgian Chocolate, I like to use Trader Joe’s
6 Glutino Chocolate Vanilla Cream Cookies, as close to Oreos as you’ll ever get!
8 Wide Popsicle Sticks, found mine at Michael’s Craft Store
5 oz. Dixie Cups
Place the cookies in a zipper plastic bag and roll over them a few times with a rolling pin and pour them onto a plate or into a bowl. Roughly chop the peanuts and dark chocolate. Take the lids off the ice cream and allow to soften for about 15 minutes. Remove the lid from the peanut butter.
Set up an assembly line and begin layering everything in the Dixie cups. I layered mine in this order: salted caramel ice cream, peanut butter, cookies, naked coconut ice cream, peanuts & chocolate, naked coconut ice cream, and then sprinkled the tops in a variety of cookies, chocolate, and/or peanuts.
But of course, you can layer yours however you wish!
I missed the chopped peanut and chocolate chunk layer photo…but you get the gist.
Once you’ve made it to the top, sprinkle with whatever you choose and add the stick. Don’t slide the stick all the way to the bottom of the cup or you’ll get a mouthful of stick on your first bite.
Cut a piece of foil, I tore off small strips and cut them in half and then made a little snip in the middle to fit over the stick. Slide it over the stick, wrap it somewhat snug around the Dixie cup and place in the freezer.
Allow to set overnight or at least 6 hours.
Once they’ve set, remove the foil carefully and snip two sides of the cup with kitchen shears and tear off the cup.

These are very pretty and excellent for your warm weather conditions. I love the moulds. I wish we had that coconut ice cream range here. I will try to find something similar xx

Looks just delish! I haven’t tried the Coconut Bliss line but I will. Dairy isn’t good for me, either, and for some reason ice cream is just the worst of all the dairy. It’ll be nice to have a “sometimes” little treat.

It certainly is nice to know that there is a good-tasting, non-lactose alternative to “normal” ice cream. Your idea for these pops is great! The possibilities are endless and using Dixie cups is a great way to maintain portion control. Seeing all of those sticks pile up in front of me is sure to make me put on the brakes. 🙂

I just ate the last one tonight! 😉 Think I may have to experiment with a frozen fruit batch next time.

We discovered that ice cream when learning my son was allergic.. it is the best substitute. In fact I’d say it’s better than many ice creams and not a “substitute” at all! I love your idea for frozen cups (and flavors) and I think your way of preparing them is pretty.. they remind me of the Dairy Queen Buster Bars we have here! xx
