Mmm…you guys know how much I love peanut butter, ice cream, and snacks on the lighter side. It should come as no surprise to you that I attempted to combine all three concepts in one recipe! I’ve gotta say, I think this is my favorite recipe so far this summer. The texture of these Peanut Butter Cookie Doughsicles is so smooth and creamy and perfectly satisfying to my sweet tooth!
In case you’re wondering, the popsicles kind of taste like peanut butter cookie dough, hence the name. You probably figured that out already. 😛 Yep, the baking powder is in there to add to the cookie dough flavor. These popsicles are so simple to make – just buzz the ingredients together in a blender before pouring the mixture into popsicle molds and freezing!
Don’t have defatted peanut flour? You should totally get some! It’ll give you all the decadent flavor of peanut butter without a calorie overdose! And did I mention that one quarter cup serving of defatted peanut flour contains a whopping 16 GRAMS of PROTEIN?!? In case you can’t tell, this is one of my favorite ingredients. I like Protein Plus brand, and I usually order it from Amazon, but you can find it at Netrition.com as well. If you don’t have defatted peanut flour and want to make these popsicles post-haste, you can just use natural peanut butter in its place, but that kind of defeats the Light S I was going for here. The popsicles will be super creamy, though! (Check out the Notes section of the recipe below for more substitution notes.)

**I do not recommend substituting a less concentrated sweetener for the xylitol because the sugar alcohols help keep the popsicles from freezing so hard.

Briana, I tried these and they are soooooo good! Question though, about the serving size. The recipe makes 12 right? I made “sicles” that look similar to those in your picture, and got only 7. Are your molds very small? Or are they larger and you just count them as two servings? Thanks for all of the wonderful recipes!
My molds must be smaller than yours. 🙂 The recipe is pretty light so your larger popsicles shouldn’t be a problem as far as serving sizes go. Eat up!
Thank you!
I made these last night and they are the best treat EVER!!! This will be a staple in my freezer. Better than Halo ice cream. Plus they are FP. Thank you for coming up with these
I’m so glad you like them, Karen! They’re one of my new favorites too! Just to clarify, they’re only FP if you stick to only one. 😉
I’m wondering if I could make this into a FP soft serve version subbing the half and half for more cottage cheese and adding in a bit of glycerine to churn up in the ice cream maker. Thoughts?
Hi Nicole! That’s on my idea list as well. 😉 I would actually omit the coconut oil and leave the cottage cheese and half and half the same. Adding glycerine would be a good idea.
We keep Xylitol out of the house due to our dog just to be 100% safe. What other sweetener would you suggest? I keep THM Super Sweet at home. I noticed THM has a new Gentle Sweet that doesn’t have Xylitol. Would that work OR can you recommend a sweetener I could find at a store? Thanks for all your recipe ideas!
Hi Glenda! I recommend any other sugar alcohol that measures like sugar (as xylitol does). The volume of sweetener is important for the texture. Maybe erythritol would be a good substitute for you?
Thanks Briana!!
I am going to make these this afternoon! They look so easy! I can’t wait. With them temps nearing 100, they will be perfect! A full pull? Really? Excellent!
Eeek!! I had all the ingredients on hand, and just finished making a double batch right now!!! This looks like the best recipe for afternoon pick-me-up when it’s been over 100* every day. I can’t wait to try these this afternoon!!
