I can't believe that summer is just about over. Seems like we were just eating
ice cream sandwiches yesterday... oh wait, we
were!
Sadly, the end of summer is this weekend. With its finish comes the conclusion of our 14 week series on
ice cream sandwiches. For my last batch of sandwiches, I focused on the perfect pairing of cookie and ice cream flavors.
When I was a kid, one of my favorite desserts was
banana pudding with Nilla Wafers. My mom used to make it often, and my siblings and I would chow down on it like there was no tomorrow. I haven't had it in years, but recently someone mentioned Nilla Wafers to me, and they've been on my brain ever since.
I recently realized that I had never made homemade chocolate ice cream. So naturally, I decided chocolate ice cream would be involved in the next round of
ice cream sandwiches. What complements chocolate more perfectly than peanut butter?
It was my turn to make
ice cream sandwiches this week — I know, tough task! — and I was staring at some leftover
rich, fudgy brownies when it hit me. Duh!
