Chocolate Chip and Banana Ice Cream Sandwiches

amanda

Equipment

  • Blender (for creating smooth banana and chocolate purees)

  • Ice Cream Maker or Hand Mixer & Freezer-Safe Containers (essential for freezing ice cream mixture)

  • Pint-Sized Sandwich Bags (useful for portioning out sandwich components before assembly)

  • Rolling Pin (optional, but can be used to flatten the base layer if not using pre-made cookies)

  • Cutting Board & Knife (for preparing and slicing bananas and chocolate chips)

  • Silicone Spatula (useful for scraping down sides of bowls during mixing)

  • Measuring Cups & Spoons (for accurate ingredient measurements)

  • Ice Cream Scoop or Small Serving Spoon (to portion and assemble the ice cream sandwiches neatly)

  • Food Processor with Prep Bands (optional, for more efficient preparation of banana puree if using a different method)

  • High-Speed Blender (alternative option, similar to the first choice but potentially offering better results in some recipes)

Ingredients

  • 1 16.5-ounce log refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough or two 16-ounce tubs pre-portioned chocolate chip cookie dough rounds

  • 2 pints premium banana ice cream, slightly softened

  • 2 ripe bananas, cut into very thin slices

  • 1 11.5-ounce package bittersweet chocolate chips

  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil

  • 1 1/2 cups loose granola or English toffee bits (optional)

Instructions

Instruction 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. If using dough log, cut into 20 equal-size rounds. Arrange sliced dough rounds (or 20 pre-portioned rounds) on 2 baking sheets, spacing evenly. Using fingertips, press each into 2 1/2-inch round. Bake cookies until golden, about 11 minutes for sliced rounds and 15 minutes for pre-portioned dough. Transfer to rack; cool.

Using knife, smooth sides of ice cream sandwiches. Freeze 1 hour.

Instruction 4

Place granola or toffee (if using) on plate. Dip 1 ice cream sandwich halfway into melted chocolate; lift and quickly shake excess chocolate back into bowl. If desired, roll dipped edge in granola or toffee; return to baking sheet in freezer. Repeat with remaining sandwiches, chocolate, and granola or toffee. Freeze until firm, about 2 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Wrap each sandwich in foil; keep frozen.
