Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Sandwich
Since it’s National Ice Cream Sandwich Day I thought a good way to celebrate would be to enjoy one!
Here is the one that made it to the top of my list: Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Sandwiches.
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. The mini cookies eschew all-purpose flour for almond flour and are sweetened with just 2 tablespoons of maple syrup for the whole batch!
