Vegan ice cream snickers made at home with just 5 ingredients! Naturally sweetened, so rich and creamy, and shockingly close to the real thing!

Yields1 Serving
Prep Time30 minsCook Time30 minsTotal Time1 hr
 1 kg Sea Salt Caramel Ice Cream
 ¾ cup salted date caramel
  cup roasted salted peanuts
 12 oz semisweet dairy-free chocolate (chopped)
 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional)
1

Slice firm ice cream into 10 (amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size) 1/2-inch slices (see photo) and set on a parchment-lined baking sheet to freeze again until firm - about 30 minutes.

2

In the meantime, prepare date caramel. Use above-linked recipe to make a larger batch, or place pitted dates (starting with ~16 as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size) in a food processor or high speed blender - if dried out, soak in warm water for 10 minutes and then drain beforehand.

3

Mix until a creamy paste is formed, adding warm water to encourage it along. Limit amount of water added or it can get too runny. You're definitely going for a paste.

4

Remove frozen bars from freezer and spread on 1 Tbsp caramel and a small handful of peanuts. Set back in freezer.

5

Melt chocolate and coconut oil over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30 second increments. Set aside.

6

Remove bars from freezer once set and use a spoon to drizzle the tops generously with chocolate. Work quickly, then set back in the freezer to harden - about 30 minutes.

7

Transfer remaining chocolate to a shallow bowl or plate and reheat in microwave if it's gotten too firm.

8

Once firm, remove bars from freezer once more and dip the bottoms in the remaining chocolate and brush away extra with the back of a spoon or spatula. Set back on parchment to freeze once more.

9

Serve directly from freezer as they become soft when they set out. Will keep in the freezer for up to a couple weeks, though best when fresh.

Notes:
- For the ice cream, any neutral vegan ice cream will do. Just make sure it's frozen into a loaf pan/square-shaped so it's easy for slicing into bars!
- Inspired by these 5 ingredient Vegan Snickers Bars!
- Prep time does not include final freeze.
- Nutrition information is a rough estimate.
