Snickers Ice Cream Bars
If you love Snickers ice cream bars, you need to try this homemade version. They’re ultra creamy, naturally sweetened, and made with simple ingredients.
Servings 8 small bars
Ingredients
- 75 g (½ cup) cashews
- 120 g (½ cup) canned coconut milk
- 60 g (3 tbsp) maple syrup
- 14 g (1 tbsp) coconut oil or use cashew butter
- 1 pinch of salt
- 8 soft dates
- 8 tsp peanut butter
- Peanuts
- 1 (80 g) bar dark chocolate
Instructions
- You can watch the video for visual instructions.Soak the cashews in cold water overnight (or boil for 5-10 minutes if you’re short on time) until soft. Drain well.
- Blend the cashews, canned coconut milk, maple syrup, coconut oil, and a pinch of salt in a high-speed blender (I use a Nutribullet) until completely smooth and creamy. Pause to scrape the sides as needed.
- Insert the sticks into the popsicle mold and pour in enough mixture into each mold to cover the bottom.
- Wrap 1 date around each popsicle stick and add 1 tsp of peanut butter and some chopped peanuts to each.
- Pour the remaining ice cream mix on top and freeze for 2-3 hours, or until solid.
- Chop, then melt the chocolate in the microwave in a microwave-safe mug or jar in 20–30 second intervals (or use a double boiler). Chop extra peanuts for topping.Chocolate too thick? Stir in a little coconut oil for easier dipping.
- Dip each popsicle into the chocolate (I dipped halfway), immediately sprinkle with chopped peanuts, and place onto a lined plate to set. Enjoy!
Notes
Nut-free version: Try sunflower seeds instead of cashews and peanuts, though the flavor will differ. Thick dairy-free cream (like Oatly) may also work in the ice cream base.
