Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars (sugar free)


These look a little messy, but they totally replace Reece's cups!! I used no sugar added peanut butter, and then added protein powder, and stevia or ground sweet blend to taste! Then I melt a package of sugar free chocolate chips, spread about half on a sheet of parchment, freeze that, then spread the peanut filling on top, freeze that (or if you're like me, just spread the rest of the chocolate on top, it'll work fine :)) then freeze till hard, and cut up into squares! You'll have to keep them in the freezer, but they work very well for that bit of candy you might be craving!! 

Ingredients:
1 cup plain peanut butter
2 scoops plain whey protein powder
Stevia to taste
1, 12 oz package sugar free chocolate chips

The broken top is from cutting the frozen chocolate...I was too impatient to see if I could cut them without it breaking ;)

Sugar Free Vanilla/Chocolate Ice Cream

In love!! Chocolate vanilla swirl, with walnuts and caramel!! 

Ice Cream: 
4 Egg Yolks
1 cup Flax Milk, or any on plan milk
6 oz. Cream Cheese
2 cups Heavy Cream
1-2 Tbsp. Vanilla
Stevia to taste
Dash of Salt
1/2 cup sifted Cocoa Powder
3/4 cup chopped Walnuts
THM or sugar free Caramel Sauce  

Instructions:
Mix in a small pot, Yolks and flax milk, heat over low heat or double broiler, while whisking, then add cream cheese, in small chunks, and whisk till it's all melted together! Take off the heat, whisk in the cream, stevia, salt and vanilla. Divide in half, whisk 1/2 cup sifted cocoa in one half, let it all cool...you can either freeze them in an ice cream freezer, or freeze in a plastic container and stir every half hour or so! When it gets mostly frozen, put the walnuts in the chocolate ice cream, and the caramel, swirl in the vanilla...swirl the two flavors together and freeze till you're ready to eat it! Serves 6-8. I use flax milk because it has a creamier taste to it than almond milk, and doesn't taste like coconut! :)
