Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Sandwiches
When summer heats up, it’s hard to resist reaching for a cool, summery treat! That why we’ve created 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! (We think they’d be equally yummy with this green tea matcha ice cream, but you tell us). And, tell us in the comments: What Shakeology recipes do you want to see?
