Ingredients And Substitutions

These are the main ingredients and substitutions for Dairy Free Klondike 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 canned coconut cream. This is different than coconut milk from a carton and coconut milk from the canned. To achieve that ice cream texture, you must use coconut cream.

I recommend sticking to a neutral flavored nut butter like cashew butter or almond butter. Otherwise, you can use any type of nut or seed butter to make this recipe nut free.

I personally love using coconut sugar because it’s a natural sweetener and it pairs nicely with the coconut cream. Alternatively, you can use cane sugar, monk fruit sweetener or brown sugar.

To keep this recipe quick and easy, use store-bought caramel. Otherwise you can make your own caramel with regular cane sugar or coconut sugar.

Once your klondike bars are totally firm, dip and coat them in melted dark chocolate. Use a dairy free chocolate to keep this recipe dairy free, otherwise any chocolate will work.
