Instructions
Line a loaf pan with parchment paper; Leave an overhang to lift out later. (I use 8” x 4”)
Ice Cream Base:
In a large bowl, combine and mix Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, peanut butter and vanilla extract.
Transfer to prepared loaf pan and use back of spoon or spatula to smoothen.
Sprinkle peanuts on top and place in freezer for about 2 hours to harden.
Peanut Butter Caramel:
In a small bowl stir peanut butter, maple syrup, water and vanilla extract. Mixture should be like a smooth spread.
Spread evenly on frozen yogurt + peanuts. Place in freezer again for 30-45 minutes.
Chocolate Coating:
Lift ice cream out of pan, place on cutting board and using a sharp knife, slice into 5 bars.Line a plate or baking sheet with same parchment paper.
Place the chocolate chips (or chocolate) and coconut oil in a large microwave safe bowl and microwave at 30 second intervals, stirring - for about 1½ minutes until it’s completely melted. Allow to cool to room temperature, about 5 minutes - this is important or the chocolate will melt the peanut butter protein layer.
Dip bars in chocolate, remove, and place on parchment-lined sheet to cool.
Repeat with remaining bars.
