Chop nuts into small pieces so they’re easier to bite once frozen.
Freeze overnight for the firmest texture.
Run warm water over the mold for easier release.

What nuts work best?

Walnuts, peanuts, pecans, or almonds all work.

Can I use dairy-free milk?

Yes. Almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk can work. The texture may be slightly softer depending on which milk you use.
