These Raspberry Peanut Butter Freezer Bites are deliciously creamy and sweet. A great dairy-free dessert.
This recipe came about by accident but it was one of those great accidents that taste soooo good. I don't think I have ever seen Rory go so crazy over something as he did over this mixture. The delight in his face, as he licked the spoon, was priceless!
To make these little Raspberry Peanut Butter Freezer Bites I simply mixed some stewed apples, a few dates, peanut butter, raspberries and a little coconut oil in a food processor. The result was a deliciously smooth and tasty, thick liquid that I pored into a small lined dish and froze. After a couple of hours, I took it out and cut it into squares then popped the pieces into an covered container to store in the freezer.
I've made these a few times now and they store well as long as they are covered in a tub or ziplock bag. Unfortunately they don't last long in our house so I have only managed to store them for a week. They were still great after this time and I'm sure they would still be fabulous for a longer period (if they last that long!)

Raspberry Peanut Butter Freezer Bites
Ingredients
- 2 medium apples , cored, peeled and chopped into small chunks (mine weighed 212g) (Alternatively you can use 175g of apple sauce)
- 30 g dates
- 125g / ½ cup peanut butter
- 2 tablespoon melted coconut oil
- 70g / ¾ cup Raspberries
Instructions
- Add chopped apples to a pan along with 4-5 tablespoon of water. Cover and cook over a low heat until tender (7-8 mins). Drain (if any water remaining) and add to a high speed blender / food processor along with the remaining ingredients. Blitz until smooth.
- Line a small baking tin / dish (mine was 13cm x 13cm - approx. 5x5" but a loaf tin would work well too).
- Pour mixture into the dish and freeze for approx. 2 hours. Cut into cubes and return to freezer in a covered container or bag to store. Enjoy straight from the freezer.

These are amazing! I don't like dates so I subbed for a little bit of honey, and added extra raspberries because I like a more tart flavor. So good! I'm gonna try and make these in baby ice cream molds now.
Amy
Thank you Ruchama, extra raspberries sound perfect!
Elyane
Hi looks amazing! Should we thaw the rasberry first?
Amy
Hi Elyane, Thank you! I never thawed them but they don't have to be frozen. Either way will work 🙂
Sarah
Hi, do you think these would be successful if I left out the coconut oil (or any oil)?
Amy
Hi Sarah, I haven't tried so can't say for sure but I think they would still work 🙂
Stacey
Hi! Could I replace raspberries with blueberries?
Amy
Hi Stacey, I'm sure blueberries would work. I think the colour may be a little grey though. If you do try, I'd love to know how it works.
Anne
Wow, this is good stuff! I love your recipies, thank you for making them so easy, Im looking forward to try more!
Amy
Thanks Anne, so glad you liked it and I hope you enjoy some of my other recipes!
Kathleen
Is there anything else I could use besides dates?
Amy
Hi Kathleen, I used the dates to add sweetness to the recipe. You could add any dried fruit or maybe a little maple syrup or honey.
Anna
Hello Amy! They look soo delicious!
How many dates did you use???
Amy
Hi Anna, Thank you, it was around five pitted dates. Hope you enjoy!!
Elyse
Do you need a high speed blender for this recipe to be successful?
Amy
Hi Elyse, I used a high seed blender but along as your dates are moist then this should mix together well in a regular blender / food processor.
Dawn Quest
Those look so good Amy. Must try them - and they look really easy to make. I love anything with raspberries in it. I might even let the kids have some!
Amy
Thanks Dawn! I must confess to eating way more of these that my boys did!!
