• 1 tsp vanilla extract 
• 2 TBS Swerve, Confectioners

Caramel Filling

• 3 TBSP butter
• 4 TBSP Swerve, Granular 
• 1 ½ tsp molasses 
• 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream 
• 1/4 tsp xanthan gum 
• 1/4 tsp sea salt

Ice Cream Filling

• 2 oz Cream Cheese (room temperature)
• 1 1/2 TBS Swerve, Confectioners

Caramel Filling

1. In a muffin pan, place muffin liners in 6 cups. Set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, Swerve, and molasses. Bring to a boil and cook 3 to 5 minutes (be careful not to burn it). Remove from heat and add the cream. Mixture will bubble vigorously.
3. Sprinkle the surface with xanthan gum and whisk in quickly to combine. Add the salt and whisk in. Return the mixture to heat and boil 1 more minute. Set aside.

Chocolate Coating

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together melted coconut oil, cocoa powder, vanilla extract and Swerve. Place a tsp of chocolate mixture in each muffin liner. Let it cover the entire bottom of the cup, and freeze for 5-10 minutes.
2. Remove chocolate from freezer, and add 1 tsp of caramel filling to the frozen chocolate coating. Sprinkle each cup with 2 tsps of peanuts. Freeze for another 10 minutes.

Ice Cream Filling

1. In a separate, microwave safe bowl, whisk together room temperature cream cheese (if you need to, microwave the cream cheese in 8 second increments until it is softened), Swerve, heavy whipping cream, and vanilla extract.
2. Remove pan from freezer, and add a TBS of ice cream filling to each cup. Place in freezer, and freeze for 10 minutes.
3. Remove pan from freezer, and add a tsp of remaining caramel filling to each cup. Then add a tsp of remaining chocolate coating in each cup, drizzling like a sundae. Sprinkle each cup with remaining peanuts.
4. Freeze for 1-2 hours and then enjoy. Store in refrigerator in an airtight storage container.

*Note - If desired, let soften for 10-15 minutes before eating.
