The Ultimate Summer Treat
There are two treats I crave every summer: 1. ice cream sandwiches and 2. s’mores. A genius idea occurred to me. Why not combine these two classics and create the ultimate summer treat.
These peanut butter s’mores ice cream sandwiches feature cinnamon graham crackers, homemade whipped cream, and peanut butter sandwiched together and dipped in dark chocolate. It’s a delicious ice cream sandwich with s’mores vibes and a hit of peanut butter. Magic!
Ingredients in these Peanut Butter S’mores Ice Cream Sandwiches
Here’s the main ingredients in this treat:
- coconut cream, it’s the base of the dairy-free whipped cream. You can buy a can of coconut cream (typically with coconut milk or in the health section of your grocery store). Refrigerate it overnight and scoop out the solid cream from the top (there will be a little liquid in the bottom; do not use that – you can reserve it for smoothies or discard). The cream is whipped with a little powdered sugar and vanilla to create a delicious homemade whipped cream.
- cinnamon graham crackers, the base of the ice cream sandwich. It gives those classic s’mores vibes. I use cinnamon for the extra hit of flavor (but a plain honey works too).
- natural peanut butter, the peanut butter takes this ice cream sandwich to the next level. I add a smear on the inside of each graham cracker.
- dark chocolate, the ice cream sandwiches are dipped into melted dark chocolate. The cool whipped cream, creamy peanut butter, rich dark chocolate make this treat out of this world delicious.
- crushed peanuts, the finishing touch to make these peanut butter s’mores ice cream sandwiches complete.
How to make this treat
- Make the homemade whipped cream. This step is actually incredibly easy. In a cold bowl, add the cold coconut cream and whip using a hand mixer. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla, and pinch salt and beat for another 30 seconds. Viola! (P.S. you could also use a dairy-free store bought whipped cream too).
- Freeze the homemade whipped cream. Line a 8×8 pan with parchment paper. Spread out the whipped cream to cover the bottom of the pan. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until totally set. Cut into 9 squares.
- Build ice cream sandwiches. On the inside of each graham cracker half, smear on peanut butter. Add a whipped cream square and sandwich it between two graham cracker halves. Set in freezer while you melt dark chocolate.
- Dip in dark chocolate. Melt dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl until fully melted and smooth. Dip half of each sandwich into the malted dark chocolate.
- Garnish with crushed peanuts. Immediately sprinkle with crushed peanuts. Place in freezer to set. Store peanut butter s’mores ice cream sandwiches in freezer.
- Enjoy! I think these are best if you allow them to sit out for 30 minutes before eating. It allows the whipped cream to thaw slightly and have a more ice cream like consistency.
