This Malaysian Peanut Ice Cream Stick offers a nutritious twist on a classic treat. Peanuts provide plant-based protein, healthy monounsaturated fats, and essential minerals such as magnesium and potassium. Using low-fat santan and skimmed milk reduces saturated fat, while gula Melaka offers a lower-GI alternative to refined sugar, containing trace minerals and antioxidants. The dessert is also a good source of dietary fiber thanks to the peanut content, and using pandan leaf adds antioxidants and a natural fragrance without extra calories.
