Sweet & savory snacks

In these hot temperatures, an ice-cold snack that can only be taken out of the freezer is a must😊 And what could be better than a super tasty and creamy Snickers ice cream? As a child, I occasionally had this ice cream when it was really hot. Even back then, I loved the taste of peanuts and creamy peanut butter, which is why Snickers ice cream was my absolute favorite! So why not relive old childhood memories? 😊 As I can no longer eat the store-bought ice cream, I wanted to try out my own Snickers recipe that was vegan, gluten-free and soy-free. I also wanted it to be a little healthier than conventional ice cream, which is why I didn't use any sugar or sweeteners for this recipe - the sweetness comes exclusively from the banana and dates. Do you like Snickers and anything with peanut butter in it? Then you'll love these banana snickers😊

Ingredients

Dough

1 banana, ripe
60g gf. Oat flakes, ground
80g creamy peanut butter

Date caramel

180g dates soft, pitted
2 tbsp peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla bourbon, ground
some water

In addition

120g peanuts, salted
75g vegan dark chocolate

This is how it's done

Mash the banana in a large bowl. Add the rolled oats and peanut butter and mix everything into a homogeneous dough. Press the dough into an approx. 10x15cm mold. If you have a muesli bar mold, you can also use this.
For the date caramel, blend the dates, peanut butter and vanilla bourbon to a smooth cream. Spread the cream over the dough.
Spread the peanuts over the date caramel.
Place the mold in the freezer for at least 5 hours.
Cut the Snickers into bar shapes or remove them directly from the bar shape.
Melt the dark chocolate over a bain-marie.
Dip the bars in the chocolate so that they are nicely covered all over.
Place the bars in the freezer again for 1-2 hours. Then you can enjoy the delicious bars😊

Note: You can also simply leave the bars in the freezer and take one out whenever you feel like it. The bars will keep for approx. 3-6 months in the freezer.
