Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 7 ounces (200 ml) full-fat canned coconut milk
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) natural peanut butter
- 6–9 ounces (170–255 g) dark or semi-sweet chocolate
- 1/2 cup (75 g) peanuts
Sweeteners and Flavors:
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Seasoning and Binding:
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1–2 teaspoons coconut oil
Instructions
- Prepare the blender and combine the designated ice cream layer components, processing until achieving a velvety consistency. Carefully transfer the mixture into a parchment-lined 8×5 loaf pan, ensuring even distribution. Place in the freezer for approximately 3-4 hours until completely solidified.
- Create the peanut butter caramel by thoroughly whisking the ingredients until obtaining a silky, uniform texture. Gently spread the caramel across the frozen initial layer, ensuring complete coverage. Sprinkle chopped peanuts evenly over the caramel surface, delicately pressing them to secure attachment. Return to the freezer for an additional 2-3 hours.
- Remove the frozen layered dessert from the pan using parchment paper edges. Slice into 8 uniform rectangular portions using a sharp knife warmed under hot water to ensure clean cuts.
- Prepare the chocolate coating by melting chocolate with coconut oil in a double boiler or microwave, stirring until achieving a glossy, smooth consistency. Carefully dip each frozen bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring complete coverage. Place coated bars on a parchment-lined tray.
- Return the chocolate-covered bars to the freezer for 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate shell to harden completely. Transfer to an airtight container for storage.
- When ready to serve, remove bars from the freezer and allow to soften at room temperature for 2-3 minutes to enhance creaminess. Enjoy immediately for optimal texture and flavor.
Notes
- Blend ingredients thoroughly to prevent icy chunks and ensure a smooth, creamy texture.
- Use room temperature ingredients for easier mixing and better blending consistency.
- Opt for natural peanut butter to reduce added sugars and enhance the authentic nutty flavor.
- Freeze bars on a flat surface to maintain an even coating and prevent uneven chocolate coverage.
