Beat the hot weather with an ice cream sandwich that is actually good for you (well, kind of, I wouldn't eat a ton but they are filling!). These ice cream sandwiches are made from a 1-ingredient banana ice cream and 3-ingredient peanut butter cookies with no added sugar and yet plenty of flavour! Gluten free, dairy free, flourless.

Servings: 4 sandwiches
Ingredients
Banana ice cream:
  • 2 bananas, peeled and frozen for at least 2-3 hours
  • splash of milk (dairy or non-dairy), if needed
Peanut butter cookies:
  • 250 g (1 cup) peanut butter (I like crunchy for the added texture in the cookies but smooth works, too
  • 1 medium egg
  • 4 drops liquid stevia (or use a very small amount of your chosen sweetener to taste - about 2 tsp brown sugar works well), optional
Instructions
  1. If you haven’t already frozen the bananas, do this first (I like to buy big batches of really ripe ones discounted in the supermarket and get home and peel and freeze them to always have on hand in a second - you can even defrost and use in baking for banana bread, cakes or muffins!).
  2. Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/gas Mix the cookie ingredients until smooth and fluffy, then dollop tablespoons of the mix onto a lined baking tray and press them down slightly. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Allow to cool completely (I recommend even freezing them for a little before assembling the sandwiches as they can be super crumbly and that can make for a really messy ice cream sandwich!).
  3. Blitz the frozen bananas in a food processor until smooth, adding a little milk if needed to loosen the mixture and move it along (it takes a few minutes, be patient). Spoon a couple of tablespoons between 2 cold cookies and serve immediately, with a bowl or at least a couple of napkins as it can get messy, in the best possible way!
