There's no need to run after the ice cream truck when you can make this classic treat at home with just four ingredients. These brightly hued pops pack a double dose of berry flavor from their creamy centers and buttery crumb coatings.

Yield 6 pops

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pint very soft (almost melted) strawberry ice cream
4 (3-inch) sugar cookies
1 tablespoon crushed freeze-dried strawberries
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Special equipment:
6 (3-ounce) ice-pop molds and sticks

Steps:

  • Divide ice cream among ice-pop molds, insert sticks, and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.
  • Meanwhile, pulse cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Transfer half of crumbs to a plate. Add strawberries to remaining crumbs in food processor and drizzle with butter. Pulse a few times to create strawberry crumbs. Stir strawberry crumbs into plain crumbs on plate.
  • Line a large plate or rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Dip molds briefly into hot water. Working one at a time, remove ice pop from mold and thaw 1 minute. Dip in crumbs, turning to coat and pressing to adhere. Transfer pops to prepared plate and freeze again at least 15 minutes before serving.
  • Do Ahead
  • Ice pops can be made 7 days ahead; freeze in an airtight container.

Categories     dessert

Time 8h30m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
25 golden cream-filled sandwich cookies
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
20 golden cream-filled sandwich cookies
1 cup freeze-dried strawberries
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1.75 liters vanilla ice cream (7 cups), slightly thawed in the refrigerator
3 cups strawberry ice cream, slightly thawed in the refrigerator

Steps:

  • For the crust: Line the base of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and lightly spray the pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • To a 12- to 14-cup food processor fitted with the blade attachment, add the sandwich cookies, slightly breaking them up as you add them. Process until the cookies are completely broken up. While the machine is running, slowly stream in the melted butter. The mixture should now resemble wet sand and should hold together when pressed in your hands. Add the mixture to the prepared pan and evenly spread all over the base and about 1/2 inch up the sides. Place the crust in the freezer for 30 minutes. Reserve the food processor bowl to make the shortcake crumbs.
  • For the shortcake crumbs: Reattach the food processor bowl and blade. Add the sandwich cookies, slightly breaking them up as you add them. Add the freeze-dried strawberries. Process the mixture until it's a very fine, cohesive consistency. With the machine running, slowly stream in the melted butter. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and set aside.
  • For the filling: When the crust is frozen, scoop on half of the softened vanilla ice cream. Use a small offset spatula to smooth the ice cream into an even layer. Sprinkle 1 cup of the shortcake crumbs over the ice cream, slightly pressing in to adhere. Freeze for 45 minutes.
  • After 45 minutes, scoop on the softened strawberry ice cream. Use a small offset spatula to smooth the ice cream into an even layer. Sprinkle 1 cup of the shortcake crumbs over the ice cream, slightly pressing to adhere. Freeze for 45 minutes.
  • After 45 minutes, scoop on the remaining vanilla ice cream. Smooth with an offset spatula and top with the remaining shortcake crumbs. Freeze for at least 6 hours and up to overnight.
  • To serve, run a knife or offset spatula around the edge of the cake to loosen it from the pan. Remove the springform ring and slice the cake into wedges.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use a high-quality vanilla ice cream.
  • If you don't have a popsicle mold, you can use a paper cup or a plastic wrap-lined muffin tin.
  • To make the ice cream bars more festive, decorate them with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or mini chocolate chips before freezing.
  • These ice cream bars can be made ahead of time and stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Strawberry shortcake ice cream bars are a delicious and refreshing treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these ice cream bars a try!
