Ice cream is comfort food, and salted caramel and peanut butter ice cream may just be the pinnacle of comfort. This recipe delivers the complete package- comforting, decadent ice cream, no fuss simplicity and ingredients that are as wholesome as they come.

Ingredients
Method

Salted Caramel & Peanut Butter Pops
¾ cup Medjool dates
½ cup Cashews, soaked for 4 hours
2 Tbsp natural peanut butter
2 Tbsp Coconut Nectar
1 ½ Tbsp Coconut Oil
1 ripe banana
2 Tbsp coconut milk
½ tsp Himalayan rock salt
Chocolate Coating
60g Dark Chocolate
1 Tbsp Coconut Oil
Crunch Dip
¼ cup Caramelised Buckinis Clusters
1 Tbsp pistachio nuts, crushed
1 tsp edible rose petals, chopped roughly

Step 1Drain cashews and rinse well. Place all the ingredients for the Salted Caramel & Peanut Butter Pops in a high-speed blender. Start to blend on slow until combined and increase the speed to high, blending until very smooth (around 2 minutes), scrapping down the sides of the blender half way through, if needed.
Step 2Pour the mix into 4 round silicone 'mini cheesecake' moulds. Set in the freezer for 4 hours. Once firm, remove pops from the moulds and insert a popsicle stick into each. Set back in the freezer while you melt the chocolate.
Step 3Next prepare the Chocolate Crunch Coating. Grate the dark chocolate and place in a heat-proof bowl with the coconut oil. Place bowl over a pot of steaming water, and allow to melt. *To keep the chocolate raw, use a thermometer and keep the temperature below 45 degrees Celsius. Once liquid, remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
Step 4In the meantime, mix the crunch topping together until uniform
Step 5Once chocolate has cooled slightly, use a rubber spatula to coat the pops in the melted chocolate. Once covered, sprinkle the pops with the crunch topping, and set onto baking paper.
Step 6Repeat with the remaining pops. Store the pops in an air tight container in the freezer for up to 3 weeks, they're perfect straight from the freezer with no defrosting time needed.

Such a great idea! I really love how they look like! How long do they last in the fridge?

Hi kathi,

I am so glad you like them, we are very proud of the final pops. Store the pops in an air tight container in the freezer for up to 3 weeks. There is no need to store them in the fridge as they're perfect straight from the freezer (with no defrosting time needed). Xx jade
