I know we hit our Day 30 of 30 Days of Healthy Summer Treats yesterday, but I had one more I really wanted to share (and I may have saved the BEST for LAST) so here’s a bonus recipe: a Day 31!!

We’re making healthier Snickers inspired, vegan caramel nut ice cream bars.

====INGREDIENTS===============

Peanut Butter Caramel Ice Cream:

1 can full-fat coconut milk
1/4 cup natural peanut butter (or another nut/seed butter)
(optional: add a scoop of vanilla or unflavoured protein powder - this adds more protein, but more importantly acts as a stabilizer and makes your no-churn ice cream much creamier, alternatively you can add 1/8 tsp xanthan or guar gum, or skip this completely)
1/4 cup (62g) about 4-5 Medjool dates, pitted or 1/4 cup maple syrup/sweetener of choice
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp sea salt

No Cook Peanut Butter Caramel:

1/4 cup natural peanut butter (or another nut/seed butter)
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup (62g) about 4-5 Medjool dates, pitted
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp sea salt

Peanuts:

1/2 cup crushed peanuts (or another nut/seed)

Chocolate Coating:

1-1.5 cups dark chocolate/choc chips, melted
1 tbsp coconut oil, melted

====INSTRUCTIONS==================

Peanut Butter Caramel Ice Cream:

Combine in blender and blend until smooth
Pour into lined loaf pan for thicker bars, or an 8x8 square pan for thinner ice cream bars
Freeze 3-4 hours until solid

No Cook Peanut Butter Caramel:

Combine in blender and blend until smooth
Spread across frozen ice cream
Top with peanuts, press then in a little so they stick in the caramel
Freeze until caramel has set

Chocolate Coating:

Combine melted chocolate and coconut oil
Slice ice cream bars as desired
Dip in chocolate coating (I like to use forks)
Optional: if you want the drizzle pattern on top, let the chocolate coating set on your ice cream bars, then put some of your melted chocolate in a ziplock bag, snip the corner, and drizzle over your bars
Freeze until set

Enjoy!!
