Ingredients
200 g full-fat canned coconut milk
60 g natural peanut butter
30 ml honey or maple syrup
5 ml vanilla extract
1.25 ml salt
120 g natural peanut butter
30 ml honey or maple syrup
0.5 ml salt
45 ml full-fat coconut milk
Roasted peanuts (about 1/4 cup)
170–255 g dark or semi-sweet chocolate
5–10 ml coconut oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Ice Cream Base: In a blender, combine the coconut milk, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Freeze the Ice Cream Base: Pour the mixture into a parchment-lined 8×5 cm loaf pan and smooth the top. Freeze for several hours until firm to the touch.
- Make the Peanut Butter Caramel: Whisk together the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), salt, and coconut milk until smooth and creamy.
- Layer the Caramel: Spread the caramel over the frozen ice cream base. Sprinkle roasted peanuts on top, pressing gently into the caramel layer. Freeze until set.
- Cut into Bars: Once the layers are fully frozen, cut into 8 equal bars using a sharp knife.
- Prepare the Chocolate Coating: Melt the chocolate and coconut oil over a water bath or microwave. Stir until smooth.
- Coat the Bars: Dip each bar into the melted chocolate, fully coating it, then place on a parchment-lined tray.
- Freeze to Set: Freeze the bars until the chocolate coating sets, about 15–20 minutes.
- Serve: Allow the bars to sit at room temperature for 3–5 minutes before serving for the best texture.
- Store: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
Use maple syrup or agave nectar in place of honey for a vegan option.
For an extra chocolatey surprise, mix mini chocolate chips into the ice cream base.
Substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter for a different flavor.
