Directions
1. Prepare the Cream Base:
In a bowl, combine cottage cheese or cream cheese with melted butter, honey, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder.
Blend the mixture using a food processor or blender until smooth.
2. Freeze the Cream Base:
Spoon the cream mixture into silicone molds for ice sticks.
Freeze for at least 3 hours or until fully solid.
3. Prepare the Chocolate Coating:
Chop the peanuts into medium-fine pieces.
Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl using a double boiler or microwave.
Stir in vegetable oil and chopped peanuts until well-mixed.
4. Coat the Frozen Bars:
Remove the frozen cream bars from the molds.
Dip each bar into the chocolate-peanut coating.
Return the coated bars to the freezer for another 15 minutes to set the chocolate.
Serving Suggestions
Serve immediately for a refreshing dessert on a warm day.
Pair with coffee or tea for an indulgent snack.
