SERVES 6-8

Ingredients:

3/4 cup softened dates

1/3 cup oats

1 tsp vanilla

1/4 cup toasted almonds

1 pint of Halo Top Toasted Coconut non-dairy ice cream

Non-dairy chocolate of choice

Directions:

  1. Line a small cookie sheet with parchment paper and remove your Halo Top from the freezer. Allow thawing for 5-10 mins.

  2. Place the dates, oats, vanilla, and almonds in a food processor and pulse until a crumbly mixture forms.

  3. Press half of this crumbly mixture onto the parchment paper. Spread the Halo Top evenly on top, then press the remaining crumbly mixture on top of the ice cream.

  4. Place this in the freezer and allow to set for 3-4 hours.

  5. Once set, melt your chocolate in the microwave (heating in 30 second intervals and stirring often). Remove the ice cream slab from the freezer and slice into bars (or squares to make frozen s’mores bites!).

  6. Dip in the melted chocolate and coat completely. Return to the freezer and allow to set for an additional hour minimum. Enjoy!

Vanilla Bean with Dipped Strawberries

/
SERVES 2

SERVES 2

ingredients:

1 Pint Halo Top Vanilla Bean

1 bottle Rosé

2 cups Pink Candy Melts

1-2 teaspoons Vegetable Oil or Shortening

Gold Edible Stars

Fresh Strawberries

directions:

  1. Wash strawberries and pat dry and put in a large glass or bowl. Pour rosé over the strawberries until they are all covered. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit in the fridge for 24 hours. Remove strawberries and dry fully with paper towels. Make sure they are completely dry on the outside or the candy will seize up and ruin the smooth consistency.

  2. Melt candy according to package directions. Add vegetable shortening or oil to get a velvety smooth and thin consistency, perfect for dipping.

  3. Pour candy into a deep mug or cup. Hold the strawberries at the stem and dip into melted chocolate until it is fully coated. Pull straight up and out of the melted candy. Use your free hand to tap the wrist of the hand holding the strawberry to help the excess candy slide off and back into your cup. Place onto wax paper.

  4. Add sprinkles or gold stars if desired and let dry fully, until candy has set (speed up the process by placing in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes).

  5. Enjoy with Vanilla Bean Halo Top the same day, or refrigerate if not serving immediately. These are best served within 24 hours of dipping.
