Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Sandwiches
When summer heats up, it’s hard to resist reaching for a cool, summery treat like this Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Sandwich recipe.
The peanut butter ice cream — or “nice cream” if you will — is made from all-natural peanut butter, unsweetened almond milk, and Chocolate Vegan Shakeology (you can use Chocolate Shakeology if you wish, though it will change the nutritional information a little bit).
The mini cookies eschew all-purpose flour for almond flour and are sweetened with just 2 tablespoons of maple syrup for the whole batch!
Ingredients For Ice Cream:
- 3 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
- 1 large banana, cut into chunks, frozen
- 2 tbsp all-natural peanut butter
