Pour 2 cups of heavy whipping cream into a bowl.

Add 1 can (14 ounces) of sweetened condensed milk to the bowl.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix well.

Pour the ice cream base into popsicle molds, inserting popsicle sticks as you go.

Place the filled molds into the freezer for 5 to 8 hours until frozen.

Alternatively, scoop store-bought vanilla ice cream into a larger popsicle mold, inserting sticks, and freeze for 4 to 8 hours or overnight.

Melt 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave for about 30 seconds, stirring in between until melted.

Add about 1/4 cup of canola oil to the melted chocolate, a couple of tablespoons at a time, stirring until the chocolate is thin and runny.

Pour the melted chocolate into a glass for easier dipping.

Remove the ice cream bars from the molds by pushing on the bottom and pulling the stick out.

Dip the ice cream bars into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drizzle off.

Place the dipped bars on a silicone mat or parchment paper to set.

If desired, dip the chocolate-coated bars into nuts or coconut before the chocolate hardens.

Once the chocolate has set, place the bars back in the freezer to firm up before serving.
