Vegan Snickers Ice Cream Food

VEGAN SNICKERS ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Line an 8" loaf dish with parchment paper.
• In a large food processor, blend the sweet potato until smooth.
• Add in coconut cream, maple syrup, and vanilla extract and puree until smooth.
• Pour the sweet potato ice cream batter into the baking dish.
• Sprinkle in the peanuts and chocolate chips on to the ice cream batter and mix in thoroughly.
• Place dollops of date caramel sauce on top of the sweet potato ice cream batter, and lightly swirl the caramel into the ice cream, making sure not to over-stir and lose the ribbons of caramel.
• Add any additional peanuts and/or chocolate chips on top if desired.
• Place the ice cream into the freezer to freeze for about 4-5 hours.
• Allow to thaw for 15 minutes before serving!

VEGAN SNICKERS ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Add coconut milk to a saucepan over medium heat. Add sugar, stir and bring to a simmer. Continue whisking for 1-2 minutes.
• Remove mixture from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and xanthan gum. Whisk to combine.
• Transfer to a glass bowl and refrigerate until cooled. I left mine in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours and covered it with plastic wrap once it was no longer steaming hot.
• Once the mixture is thoroughly chilled, transfer into the pre-chilled bowl of your ice cream machine and mix according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Once the ice cream is nearly done add half of the caramel, chocolate flecks and peanuts. To make my chocolate curls I melted my chocolate first, let it cool and then ran a scraper over it to make the pieces more edible. This, however, isn't necessary.
• When the ice cream machine stops, transfer to a freezer-safe container and sprinkle in the rest of the chocolate flecks, peanuts and caramel in layers, swirling with a knife to slightly incorporate. I also added in a Vegan Snickers Bar, but this is also optional.
• At this point you can either consume it soft, or pop it in the freezer to harden. It should keep fresh for about a week. Thaw for 10-15 minutes before serving.
