These recipes not only are super easy, healthier and tasty but they are also a hit with kids. My two little ones can’t get enough of them and when I make them I have to make sure I keep an eye on how much it is that each eats. They would have these treats for breakfast, lunch and dinner if I let them!

During the summer I don’t tend to utilize my oven to satisfy my sweet palate. I like to have refreshing frozen treats instead. I always make sure we have some sort of frozen treats in the freezer at all times. Normally is some sort of frozen popsicles since they are so easy to make. I love my pospicles molds. I don’t know what I would do without them.

If you want to check out the recipes for any of these treats go on over to my friends at Wayfair You will be able to find the link for every single recipe there.

Also don’t forget to check out the new Wayfair online magazine. Amazing decor ideas and recipes.

How easy and simple it is to make your own ice cream sandwiches? well pretty easy.

I actually got the cookie recipe from these giant cookies I made a while ago but made these smaller ones as well to use to for ice cream sandwiches.

I used stored bought plain vanilla ice cream, however, I could have perfectly made some myself with my ice cream maker that I  I love. I will do that for sure next time.

I have never made ice cream sandwiches before, but I don’t think it is going to be my last. Believe or not, I actually only made two ice cream sandwiches because I wanted to see how they would turn out first. A big mistake on my part because these turned out fantastic.

You can use any favorite cookies as well as any type of ice cream of your choice to make these sandwiches, however I suggest making your own cookies and if possible you own ice cream as well. Even though the vanilla ice cream I got it was yummy, it was way too sweet for my taste.

Also, my cookies where sort of on the chunky side. I think the ice cream sandwiches would have been better if the cookies would have been a bit thinner. Next time I will take that into consideration.

I am coming up with several no bake treats lately. We are starting to have pretty hot weather here in NJ and turning on the oven is something that I want to avoid on these hot days, so be prepared to get plenty of no bake, frozen treats in the weeks to come.

Stay safe and enjoy!

These ice cream sandwiches were simply and yummy to make. Next time I will be making my own ice cream for sure and I will be using thinner cookies even though these were out of this world :-)

This is the easiest, quickest, healthiest, and most awesome ice cream you will ever make, hands down!!

This is so easy, your kids could make it. The only thing you need is a food processor and you are on your way to this amazing treat. Just in case I have not said it enough, I really CAN’T live without my food processor!!

A few things to keep in mind when making this treat:

1. You will have to move the bananas 2 to 3 times in between since they are rock hard.

2. It will take about 3-4 minutes to get the desired consistency.

3. A little bit of the milk may get out of the food processor while is on.
It did on mine, but then again, I have a cheap food processor from Walmart so you may
not experience this.

4. You may add as many Oreos as you wish.

…and if you don’t like the banana flavor that much, you can add some cocoa powder and chocolate extract to the mix!!

…or, how about a vanilla version? Vanilla Oreos, vanilla extract or even some of a vanilla bean!!

Anyhow, my Oreo cookies were from TJoe’s, which don’t have trans fats, however, they are quite sweet, remember, a little goes a long way!!

I have made other variations of this dessert that are also quite sensational. You will have to wait for those though. They are included in my e-book that I will release soon.

Well, no need to elaborate further. This is just a fantastic ice cream treat that you would have to try for yourself.

Enjoy!!

Here you can see the sort of middle product of the bananas being pureed plus the end product. It will take about 3-4 minutes in your food processor and you will have to stir the bananas in between.

…and the end result. Just divine!! I have seen banana soft serve ice cream all over the internet but never cared to try it before. I am so glad I did. This is just GENIUS!!

Healthy peanut butter and Oreo ice cream.

Yield: 4 servings

Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

• 3 bananas, ripe, frozen and cut into chunks
• 1/4 cup unsweetened soy milk + 1 tablespoon
• 2-3 tbs organic peanut butter
• 4-6 Oreos, be careful with the trans fats Oreo versions out there.
• 1 tsp cocoa powder, optional
• 1 tsp chocolate extract, optional

 

Directions:

In a food processor, add the chopped bananas, soy milk and peanut butter. If using the cocoa powder and chocolate extract you can add them here.

Blend and stop in between to move the bananas around as they may get stuck and stay in one side of the blender as they are rock hard!!

Pulse until you have a smooth consistency, like in the picture, and add the Oreos. Pulse for another 30 seconds or so. If you like Oreo chunks don't pulse for too long after adding the cookies.

Serve in pretty little glasses.

If you have any left over you can freeze and thaw for about 10 minutes before serving.

Recipe source chocolate and carrots

NOTE: You can use any other cookies of your choice.
