Tips for Organic Ice Cream Bars
- You can use any kind of nut butter for this recipe, almond butter, pistachio butter, or cashew butter are also delicious!
- If you want to make these nut free, use sunflower butter or tahini.
- You can half dip these in chocolate if you prefer less chocolate.
- You can also top these with rainbow sprinkles if the mood strikes!
- It's best to wrap each ice cream bar individually in plastic wrap or stack them with a piece of parchment paper in between each one in an airtight container in the freezer so they don't get freezer burn.
