No Bake, No Added Sugar Dubai Chocolate Brownie Ice Cream Bites

Inspired by the luxe Dubai chocolate sensation, these Dubai Chocolate Brownie Ice Cream Bites will be a treat on repeat all year long.

No-bake, no added sugar, and loaded with protein. Imagine a rich pistachio brownie crust, creamy pistachio cottage cheese “ice cream,” and a silky tahini-chocolate drizzle—all frozen into the dreamiest bite you’ll want on repeat. This is indulgence reimagined, the better-for-you way.

INGREDIENTS:

pistachio brownie crust

• 1/4 cup raw pistachios 
• 2 Dark Chocolate Brownie Superfood Bars

• pinch of salt
• 1 Tbsp pistachio butter
• 1/2-1 Tbsp Matcha Coconut Blend Superfood Latte (from Blume) or spirulina for extra green color

toppings

• 3-4 Tbsp Dark Chocolate Chips (we love the no refined sugar date-sweetened chocolate chips from Just Date)
• 1 Tbsp tahini
•  raw pistachios

1. in a food processor, add pistachios & dark chocolate brownie bar; blitz into powder.
