5-Ingredient Chocolate-Peanut Butter Nice Cream Sandwiches

"Nice cream" is a nondairy alternative to ice cream that uses frozen bananas whirled in a blender to achieve a creamy texture. Natural peanut butter helps keep the mixture soft and adds a nutty flavor to complement the chocolate. If the mixture becomes too loose to spread, pop it back in the freezer to let it firm up again before continuing.

Ingredients

  • 2 large bananas, sliced and frozen

  • cup natural peanut butter

  • 3 tablespoons oat milk or other nondairy milk, such as almond, plus more if needed

  • cup mini nondairy chocolate chips

  • 12 chocolate graham cracker sheets (6 1/2 ounces)

Directions

  1. Place frozen bananas, peanut butter and 3 tablespoons oat milk in a blender. Blend on High until smooth, adding more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach a creamy consistency. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl. Fold in chocolate chips. Freeze until the mixture is semi-firm, about 30 minutes.

  2. Break graham cracker sheets in half. Spread 2 tablespoons banana mixture evenly on 1 half; top with the other half. Repeat with the remaining graham crackers and banana mixture. Freeze in a covered container until firm, about 2 hours.

To make ahead

Store in a covered container in the freezer for up to 5 days.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
