Easy Snickers Ice Cream bars that are dairy-free, gluten-free and free of refined sugar. This plant based dessert recipe makes healthy snickers ice-cream bars with pure ingredients that leave you feeling good.
The snickers ice cream bars may take a few hours to make, but the freezer is doing all the work in this simple recipe. My healthy ice cream bites are vegan, paleo, and therefore suitable for a whole foods plant-based diet.
The high-fat content of the coconut milk and the cashew nuts with the aeration of blending means no churning is needed. These healthy snickers are soft like you would expect from an ice cream bar. Watch the snickers ice cream bars video recipe to see the consistency when they’re cut!
This healthy ice cream bars recipe is best made with a high cocoa content chocolate. Choose a brand that’s at least 70% cocoa as it will be low in sugar and high in healthy antioxidants.
I tend to choose an 80% cocoa solid brand that just has cocoa, cane sugar (or healthy sweetener like xylitol or stevia) and maybe a bit of vanilla.

Almond butter was used in these snickers but peanut butter would work just as well. I prefer crunchy nut butter in this to add texture. If you don’t have any nut butter then grind some nuts and stir in a sweetener.
The cashews are soaked in order to make them easier to blend, an hours soaking in water is enough to soften up. 
It’s best to line your tin with a non-stick sheet or use a flexible silicone tray so the ice cream bars pop out easily. It does get a tad messy cutting up the snickers ice cream bars from the block. Then even messier when coating with a thick layer chocolate, but it’s really fun!
If you would rather make less mess you can just pour on the chocolate topping once the snickers ice cream is frozen then slice into bars and serve. Then you will get more of an ice cream slice with just chocolate on top.
When eating with your hands it’s best to place on a small tab of greaseproof paper to use as a wrapper and avoid stickiness.
Most healthy ice cream bars that you buy in the shops aren’t really healthy – they’re just low calorie. Having sweeteners and low fat foods instead of calories is not healthy.
All of my healthy plant based recipes are high in vitamins and minerals and no empty calories. There’s nothing wrong with fat – our brains would not function without it. However most fats are highly processed and very unhealthy.
Raw Vegan Adaptation
Make raw using raw nut butter and coating in 1/3 cacao powder, 1/3 coconut oil / cacao butter and 1/3 sweetener such as date syrup.
This was made using an 84% dark chocolate and with all the other sweetness from the maple and cashews the bitter dark chocolate shell tastes great.
