Steps

Step 1

Melt 1/3 cup of your chocolate chips! I do this by microwaving in 30 second intervals and mixing them until they are melted through! Then, pour your melted chocolate into the bottom of your ~6 silicone muffin liners. Freeze these for a few minutes until they are hardened.

Step 2

Combine the 1/4 cup of cashew butter, and 1/4 cup coconut cream from a can, (TIP: Put the leftover coconut milk in ice cube trays to use for smoothies or ice drinks!), sweetener of choice, and vanilla extract. Add in a pinch of sea salt if your cashew butter is unsalted!

Mix well and layer this over the hardened chocolate from the freezer. Smooth it out. FREEZE in freezer while you do the next step!

Step 3

Melt the remaining 1/3 cup of chocolate chips and pour this evenly as the top, 3rd layer. Freeze for a few hours. Tip: The chocolate hardens quickly, but the middle layer needs 3+ hours to fully harden!

Eat directly out of the freezer, or let them thaw a few minutes before enjoying. :)
