Why wouldn’t you make these bars? A healthier dessert option for your family, can be turned into a family activity, a delectable, tongue-tingling, make-you-wanna dance dessert; this is one of the most delicious recipes you will come across when it comes to cold treats.
Tips to really enjoy your cream bars:
- Allow the bars to thaw until slightly creamy otherwise they will be too frozen to enjoy.
- You can add more sugar or jam for more sweetness. This recipe is not too sweet, so I suggest you grab a spoon and taste the mixture before you assemble it
- I added xylitol which is sugar free. If you want to refrain from sugar as much as possible, I suggest you add sugar free jam! Tap here to see one I have used strawberry jam
