Double Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches
Hold on to your carrots folks, this recipe isn’t for the faint of heart. This is for those moments you wanna knock someone’s socks off. Birthdays, office parties, special events, or just a little somethin’ somethin’ to brighten anyone’s day.
For this recipe you will need to have some frozen bananas at the ready. I like to buy a lot of the soft, brownish discounted ones at the store. Bring a bunch of those slightly bruised babies home, peel them, slice them and stick them in an airtight container to get them ready for blender action later. Bananas are a vegan dream, full of lots of good stuff and they have enough sweetness to replace sugar in many recipes.
But if you are looking for a sugar-free recipe, I am sorry, this is not one of them. This is an all out, feed your face whatever you want sort of treat. That being said, you can make the ice cream cookie sandwiches small, so each sweet treat isn’t too much of a good thing all at once. My kids had no complaints hahah.
Le’t get to it and go bananas with this chocolate nice cream recipe!
