Ingredients:
-food processor
-Yonanas machine (optional but recommended)
-3 frozen bananas
-20 small pitted medjool dates ( mine were really tiny so I used 20 but if yours are larger use 10-12)
-1/4 cup dried mulberries
- heaping table spoon of raw carob powder
-1/4-1/2 vanilla bean
Steps:
1. Place your dates, mulberries, carob, and a small piece of your vanilla bean into the food processor and pulse until well combined.
2. Take out your mixture and form it into patty looking circles. Feel free to make them any size you want!
3. Once you make all of your (lets call them) "cookies" place them onto a wax paper lined plate and place in the freezer.
4. While your "cookies" are in the freezer it is time to make your banana ice "cream". If you have a Yonanas machine then run your bananas through and you are golden! if you do not then do not fret because all you have to do is chop up your frozen bananas into littler pieces and place in the food processor with a tiny like a tablespoon of water and pulse until it turns to an ice cream consistency. I personally like the Yonanas machine a lot better because it gets the texture of ice cream spot on! But if you do not have it the food processor will work fine!
5. Scrape the beans out of the rest of your vanilla bean and mix it into the banana ice "cream".
6. Take out you cookies from the freezer and top one side with ice "cream" and them put another cookie on top and them enjoy!! Trust me with this recipe you will not miss the heavily processed and unhealthy ice cream sandwich!
I hope you all enjoy this recipe and have a happy new year! You can also check out my instagram @camrynmichele for pictures of what I eat on a raw vegan life style!
