  • No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuits)
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • One-Bowl Berry Crisp 4 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (2 tablespoons if using frozen berries)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional) and 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour)
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold butter, cubed (or coconut oil)
  • 3-Ingredient Banana Ice Cream (Nice Cream) 4 ripe bananas, sliced and frozen
  • 1/4 cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy), plus more as needed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional add-ins: cocoa powder, peanut butter, or chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment, leaving a little overhang.
  2. In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and peanut butter, stirring until smooth. Stir in vanilla and a pinch of salt.
  3. Remove from heat. Mix in powdered sugar and graham cracker crumbs until thick and even. Press this mixture firmly into the pan.
  4. Melt chocolate chips in the microwave in 20–30 second bursts, stirring between each, until silky. Spread over the peanut layer.
  5. Chill for 1–2 hours until set. Lift out with the parchment and slice into bars. Tip: Score the chocolate lightly after 10 minutes of chilling for cleaner cuts later.
  6. One-Bowl Berry Crisp Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter an 8-inch baking dish.
  7. In the dish, toss berries with granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice/zest. Spread into an even layer.
  8. In the same bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the cold butter with your fingers until crumbs form.
  9. Sprinkle topping evenly over the berries. Bake 30–40 minutes, until the fruit bubbles and the top is golden.
  10. Cool 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with ice cream or yogurt.
  11. 3-Ingredient Banana Ice Cream Freeze banana slices at least 2 hours or overnight in a single layer.
  12. Add bananas, vanilla, and a splash of milk to a blender or food processor.
  13. Blend, pausing to scrape down the sides, until creamy and soft-serve texture forms. Add more milk, a tablespoon at a time, if needed.
  14. Flavor it: For chocolate, add 1 tablespoon cocoa powder. For peanut butter, add 1–2 tablespoons.
  15. Enjoy right away for soft-serve, or freeze 1–2 hours for a scoopable texture.
