It’s creamy, rich, and layered with indulgent flavour—yet made with nourishing ingredients like cannellini beans, nut butter, and Botanika Blends Custard Filled Cinnamon Donut Protein. The silky peanut butter “caramel” and dark chocolate drizzle take it over the top.

Best of all? No oven, no stress—just blend, chill, slice, and devour.

How To Make It:

Blend the base: In a food processor or blender, combine drained beans, protein powder, sugar, salt, and peanut butter. Blend until smooth and dough-like.
Mix in chocolate: Stir in chocolate chips or chopped chocolate until evenly distributed.
Press into tray: Line a container or small tray with baking paper. Press the cookie dough mixture into the base. Freeze for 15–20 minutes to firm.
Make the caramel layer: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt peanut butter and coconut oil. Stir until smooth and pour over the firm base. Return to the freezer for 1 hour.
Drizzle: Melt dark chocolate using microwave or stovetop. Let cool slightly.
Slice with ease: Remove tray from freezer and slice into squares. Use a warm knife to get clean edges.
Final touch: Drizzle melted chocolate over the top. Store slices in an airtight container in the freezer and enjoy chilled!
