    Vegan PayDay Freezer Bars are a Sweet Peanut-Caramel Reward

    2
    By Alisa Fleming on July 18, 2021 Dairy Free Desserts, Dairy-Free Recipes

    My friend Hannah is one of the original vegan dessert recipe experts. We first worked together nearly fifteen years ago, and she has since completed eight cookbooks, leaning heavily toward sweets. But if I were to hone in on her true specialty, it would be vegan ice cream. She’s become a master with creating and photographing frozen desserts, as evidenced in her latest cookbook Super Vegan Scoops. Don’t worry, I have a sample recipe for vegan PayDay freezer bars to prove it.

    These cool vegan PayDay freezer bars are a great example of Hannah’s recipe style. She draws inspiration from classic flavors, foods, and products around the world, but reinvents them in new and enticing ways. And she doesn’t limit herself to just one medium in Super Vegan Scoops. The recipe chapters in her latest chilling tome include various scoop flavors; sandwiches, sticks, and miscellaneous novelties; sundaes; celebration cakes; baked goods made with melted ice cream; and toppers, sauces, sides, and staples.

    Maximize your gustatory payoff with minimal output. Inspired by the chewy, crunchy combination of salted peanuts rolled in caramel, this chillier rendition tastes like a million bucks, looks like a nut-studded bar of gold, yet demands zero confectionery expertise. Now you can indulge your sweet tooth without cashing in your whole paycheck. (Please note that the Prep time is hands on time only. Allow time for the bars to chill.)
    Author: Hannah Kaminsky
    Recipe type: Dessert
    Cuisine: American
    Serves: 12 bars
    Ingredients
    • 2 cups dry roasted, lightly salted peanuts, divided
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 2 cups plain dairy-free milk beverage, divided
    • ⅛ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
    • 2 tablespoons tapioca starch (can sub cornstarch)
    • 1 tablespoon dairy-free buttery spread or coconut oil
    Instructions
    1. Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with aluminum foil and lightly grease. Spread out half of the peanuts evenly on the bottom and set aside.
    2. Place the sugar and ¼ cup of the milk beverage in a small saucepan and set over medium heat. Stir once to combine, and then keep your spatula out of it to prevent the mixture from crystalizing during this part of the process. Rather, gently swirl the pan to mix the contents.
    3. Cook gently to caramelize the sugar, swirling frequently, until sugar turns mahogany brown in color. Pour in an additional ¾ cup of the milk beverage, swirling to incorporate, followed by the salt and peanut butter. Whisk vigorously until smooth.
    4. Separately, whisk together the remaining cup of milk with the tapioca starch, beating out any and all clumps. Pour this loose slurry into the pot and whisk constantly until the entire mixture has significantly thickened. Immediately remove from the heat, add the buttery spread or oil, and whisk until it has fully melted in.
    5. Cool to room temperature and gently dollop spoonfuls of the filling over the layer of peanuts in your prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining peanuts on top and gently pat in to adhere. Place on a flat surface in your freezer until fully set; at least 4 hours, and ideally overnight.
    6. Pull out the full sheet of bars, using the foil as a sling, and cut into single-serving sized rectangles. Serve right away, or wrap individually in fresh squares of foil and stash back in the freezer for future snack attacks.

      Didn’t hold up at all. Completely wrong consistency.

        Can you elaborate on what the problem is? It should be easy to fix. Is the mixture too soft? Too hard? Some other concern? I’m not really sure what “didn’t hold up” means. Thanks!
