Ok, so the title, Peanut Butter Ripple Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches, is a bit long. But have you ever had something so awesome that you can’t conceive leaving out one bit of it? You want to sing to the world all the components that make your latest favored recipe so damn good!! Of course “Damn Good” seems to sum things up here just fine but you know I can’t stop there.
Chocolate chip cookies are just the best. Not sure if it’s the crispy edges, the chewy center or the fact that I grew up on them but I can never get enough and can never turn one down. This chocolate chip cookie recipe is my favorite. I worked at it until I got the right texture and flavor. I like a flatter profiled cookie for an ice cream sandwich so it sits sort of flat, with the exception of the chocolate chip lumps and bumps of course. This isn’t a rule by any means just a strange quirk of mine.
I think the marriage of vanilla and peanut butter is under rated and this Peanut Butter Ripple Ice Cream proves that. The ice cream base is vanilla bean, you can never ever go wrong with vanilla bean anything. With in the layers of ice cream are drizzles of sweet, creamy peanut butter. Both of these flavors together enhance one another and make for a truly addicting ice cream flavor! Note: the pb ripple doesn’t actually get added to the ice cream until after it’s frozen. So you can use your favorite vanilla bean ice cream or if you are looking for a good recipe try this one.
If asked what my favorite ice cream is my answer would be, “one that is starting to melt”. I cannot really think of an ice cream flavor I don’t like but when we discuss ice cream and love I immediately think, melty. So that’s where I began when constructing these Peanut Butter Ripple Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches. I left the ice cream out till it began to get soft and melty then gently scooped and sandwiched it between two of the best chocolate chip cookies.
The only clean way to eat an ice cream sandwich is straight out of the freezer. But whats the fun in that? I suggest doing just as I describe above, get the ice cream softened, sandwich it between two cookies and go to town. Just have some napkins handy. Some of the best desserts are the messy ones.
Enjoy!
