I made this recipe recently and it is a pretty amazing treat.
Here are the essentials, from the recipe linked to above (with the how to instructions modified to get down to the simple basics):
Ingredients
Frozen balls of PB
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
Ice cream:
- 1 (14 oz) can coconut cream
- ¼ cup honey Vegan: use maple syrup
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 TBS unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp sea salt
Instructions
To make PB Balls:
- Cover an 8×8” baking pan with wax paper. Drop 1 tsp spoonfuls of PB on the waxed paper. Put in the freezer to harden.
To make Ice cream:
- Blend ice cream ingredients in food processor or blender. Blend until smooth.
- Add to ice cream maker and freeze according to instructions, adding the frozen peanut butter balls at the very end.
I almost made it actually according to the recipe…but not quite. I …
- used coconut milk instead of cream.
- used just 1 or 2 TBSP of honey and added two dates for sweetener.
- added extra cocoa powder. Sorry…I didn’t measure, but probably 4 TBSP.
It was delicious; and while still a treat, it was far more nutritious than store bought ice cream, and it doesn’t have any dairy in it.
