Here’s a fun twist on the viral date bark that’s not only incredibly delicious but also much easier to whip up than stuffing dates individually. It’s a perfect treat for summer, especially if you’re a fan of ice cream!
Pro Tip: Keep this delightful dessert covered in the freezer as a whole, and whenever you’re craving something sweet, simply cut off a piece to enjoy! (I’ve sliced it open here just for the video!)
You’ll need:
Snickers Ice Cream Date Bark
Ingredients
- 12 large medjool dates pitted (Make sure they’re nice and soft!)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 3/4 cup vanilla ice cream softened
- 1/2 cup salted peanuts
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- Flaky salt
Instructions
- Open up the dates, remove the pits, and line them up close together on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use the bottom of a cup sprayed with oil or cooking spray to gently press the dates down and flatten them.
- Now, let’s get that chocolate melted! Put the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a bowl, then microwave them in 2-3 30-second bursts until they’re completely melted and smooth. Set it aside for now.
- Spread a layer of peanut butter on top of the flattened dates.
- Next, add spoonfuls of softened vanilla ice cream and sprinkle the salted peanuts over the top.
- Finally, pour the melted chocolate over everything and sprinkle some flaky salt on top.
- Pop it in the freezer for at least 1 hour until the chocolate sets and the ice cream hardens again.
- Once it’s all set, cut it into pieces and indulge in this delightful treat!
