If you love pecan pie you will adore these Pecan Pie Ice Cream Bars with Chocolate Brownie Crust.
The top layer is a creamy, sweet pecan pie ice cream that also happens to be packed with fibre and is dairy free. The bottom layer is a rich, nutty chocolate brownies crust. Yes, this recipe is basically heaven!
What rounds out this recipe as amazing is that you create it in your freezer. No fuss and tastes amazing!
This recipe is a yummy fall treat. I loved having these bars in my freezer for a quick to grab treat when I was craving something sweet this week.
They are vegan, gluten free, dairy free, high fibre and are made with all natural whole food ingredients.
