Ingredients And Substitutions

These are the main ingredients and substitutions for Blueberry Crunch Ice Cream Bars. Scroll down to the recipe card for a full list of ingredients and instructions.

The base of these ice cream bars are made with coconut cream which is different than coconut milk. Coconut cream has a thicker consistency which gives these bars a creamy texture.

To keep this recipe nut free, I used a cookie butter which is similar to oat butter. Otherwise, you can use almond butter, peanut butter or any other nut or seed butter that you’d like.

Maple syrup is a unrefined sweetener that I love using in my recipes. You can also sub for honey, agave, cane sugar or coconut sugar.

Vanilla extract adds flavors to any sweet recipe.

Once frozen, these bars are dipped in freeze-dried blueberries and crushed graham crackers.
