Ingredients

PEANUT BUTTER LAYER:

  • 2 Tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 4 Tablespoons peanut butter
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla powder (or 1/2 tsp vanilla extract)
  • stevia to taste

CHOCOLATE LAYER:

  • 3 Tablespoons carob or cocoa powder
  • 3 Tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla powder (or 1/2 tsp vanilla extract)
  • stevia to taste

Instructions

  • Stir peanut butter layer until smooth. I would use all room temperature ingredients to avoid any clumping of the coconut oil.
  • Divide the mixture among four silicone muffin cups.
  • Freeze the peanut butter layer until hard to the touch (about 15-20 minutes).
  • While the peanut butter layer is solidifying, mix together the ingredients for the chocolate layer.
  • Divide the chocolate mixture atop the peanut butter layer.
  • Freeze until solid.
  • Enjoy! Keep in the freezer for best results.
