Peanut Butter and Banana Nice Cream Sandwiches image

Slicing, freezing and blending the bananas (or using my store-bought frozen bag-o-bananas shortcut) results in a quick-fix treat that has the consistency of soft serve and the taste of pure fruit.

Time 4h10m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 medium bananas or 3 cups store-bought frozen banana slices
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional
8 store-bought or homemade peanut butter cookies
Crushed peanuts or sprinkles, for decorating, optional

Steps:

  • If using fresh bananas, peel and slice them into 1/4-inch rounds. Place them on a plate and cover the plate with plastic wrap. Place the bananas in the freezer until frozen, about 2 hours.
  • Combine the frozen bananas and vanilla extract if using in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the bananas turn into a creamy texture, about 1 minute.
  • Arrange 4 of the cookies flat-side up and divide the banana nice cream between the cookies. Add a second cookie on top, pressing to seal together each sandwich.
  • Immediately roll each ice cream sandwich in crushed peanuts or sprinkles if desired.
  • Wrap each ice cream sandwich securely in plastic wrap and freeze it until solid, a minimum of 2 hours, then serve.
