Equipment

  • 5x9 Loaf Pan

Ingredients

Crunch Base

  • 150 grams dark chocolate
  • 50 grams marshmallow fluff
  • 25 grams dairy-free butter like Earth Balance
  • 45 grams puffed rice cereal gluten-free

Caramel Layer

  • 160 grams Nature's Charm sweetened condensed coconut milk
  • 4 tbsp peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil

Chocolate Topping

  • 120 grams dark chocolate

Instructions

Crunch Layer

  • Spray your loaf pan with baking spray and line with parchment so that the parchment hangs over the sides (for lifting out dessert later)
  • Using the bain marie method, heat chocolate and vegan butter in heat proof bowl until melting. Stir in the marshmallow fluff. Remove from heat and stir in the puffed rice cereal
  • Spread into the base on the loaf pan and freeze while making caramel layer

Caramel Layer

  • Using a small saucepan, melt together the sweetened condensed milk, peanut butter and coconut oil. Bring to a simmer and cook 5-8 minutes until thickened
  • Remove from heat and pour over chocolate crunch layer. Place loaf pan back into freezer. Freeze for an hour to set

Chocolate Topping

  • Melt the dark chocolate using a bain marie until smooth. Remove from heat and pour over set crunch and caramel layers. Freeze for 10+ minutes and then remove from loaf pan and slice

Notes

  • This recipe is vegan but if you are not vegan you can use regular butter and regular sweetened condensed milk
  • Rice Krispies brand cereal is NOT gluten-free. Buy a puffed rice from your grocer or online that is labeled gluten-free (nuts.com has a good one)
