Turtle Ice Cream Bark

Let’s make ice cream bark a thing!

Like the viral TikTok yogurt bark, but made with ice cream & fun toppings - this one is “turtles” inspired with our caramel-y 2-ingredient date-sweetened ice cream, crispy chocolate, crunchy pecans, and our no cook caramel.

You could even use a protein ice cream to boost the protein content (for that, see protein option in ice cream recipe/video. There’s also a lower sugar version and a chocolate option too).

Here’s what I used for this bark:

Ingredients:

Ice cream (I’m using our homemade df/v 2-ingredient ice cream - recipe linked in notes below)
1/2 cup chocolate of choice (I’m using coconut sugar sweetened df/v chocolate)
1 tbsp coconut oil
1/4 cup chopped pecans
Batch of no-cook caramel (recipe below)

Instructions:

Let ice cream sit on counter for 10-15 minutes to soften, then scoop and spread on parchment to about 1/4” thick. Freeze 10-15 minutes.
Melt chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl, in 30 second increments until fully melted and smooth.
Pull ice cream layer from freezer and spread melted chocolate in a think layer (saving some chocolate for drizzling later). Freeze 10-15 minutes.
Pull from freezer, and peel off the parchment, and flip chocolate layer to the bottom. Top with drizzles of no cook caramel (recipe below), the remaining melted chocolate, and sprinkle with chopped pecans.
Freeze until set. Then crack into pieces & enjoy!!
Store in an airtight container in the freezer.
