Peanut Butter and Chocolate Ice Cream Sandwiches image

For a modern grown-up version of the chocolate-chip cookie ice cream sandwich, I scooped ice cream into sliced baguettes, then drizzled it with sea-salt-strewn chocolate nut spread. The result is sweet, savory, sophisticated and laughably easy, just like grasshopper pie - even if its color isn't quite as dramatic.

Yield 8 to 10 ice cream sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 long baguette
Peanut butter
Chocolate nut spread, like Nutella
About 1 pint vanilla, chocolate or other ice cream, softened for 10 minutes
2 ripe bananas (optional)
Flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Slice the baguette in half lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Then cut into 3-inch-long pieces.
  • Spread the insides of the baguette pieces with a thin layer of peanut butter on one cut side and a thin layer of chocolate spread on the other cut side. Spoon some ice cream in the center and top with banana slices if using; sprinkle with a few flakes of sea salt before closing into sandwiches.
