Ingredients
Scale
Ice Cream Base
- 180 g chilled canned full-fat coconut milk
- 100 g smooth peanut butter
- 60 g vegan yogurt
- 60 ml pure maple syrup
Coating
- 100 g smooth peanut butter (for coating)
- 140 g dark chocolate
- Sea salt (to garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the ice cream base: In a mixing bowl, combine the chilled canned full-fat coconut milk, 100 g of smooth peanut butter, vegan yogurt, and pure maple syrup. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Freeze the mixture: Pour the ice cream base into molds or a lined tray shaped into bars. Freeze for at least 4 to 6 hours or until completely solid and firm enough to handle.
- Melt the chocolate and peanut butter coating: In a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method), melt the dark chocolate together with the remaining 100 g of smooth peanut butter until smooth and glossy. Stir occasionally to combine.
- Coat the frozen bars: Remove the frozen bars from the molds and dip each bar into the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture, ensuring an even coating. Place the coated bars onto a parchment-lined tray.
- Garnish and set: Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the coated bars while the coating is still wet. Return the bars to the freezer for about 30 minutes to allow the coating to harden completely before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the coconut milk is well chilled to achieve a creamy texture in the ice cream.
- You may substitute vegan yogurt with any plant-based yogurt of your choice.
- Use a good quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa for a rich flavor.
- Store the bars in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain freshness.
- Allow the bars to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating if they are too hard.
