Steemit Sandwich Contest Week 65 | Caramelized Chocolate Mint Ice Cream Sandwich
Warning! This is not your average run-of-the-mill Ice Cream Sandwich! It’s Healthy!
Good day my fellow Sandwich Elves! I just thought I would warn you ahead of time…this sandwich is packed with so many flavors…oh my! Since @jaybird, the sandwich King himself said this week is a Royal Rumble, I thought I would really create a rumble.
On a serious note, I want to truly thank @jaybird for hosting the Steemit Sandwich Contest. It's week 65, wow! Carrying this contest for well over a year both hosting and sponsoring, it’s nothing short of amazing! That’s quite a lot of Steem he’s been sharing with the Sandwich community!
Fall may be upon us, but who doesn’t like an Ice Cream Sandwich? We’re still having warm weather and after a long bike ride, Ice Cream sounded pretty good!
Better yet, how about a Healthy Ice Cream Sandwich?
Caramelized Chocolate Mint Ice Cream Brownie Sandwich
I used
Chocolate Chip Mint Ice Cream
- Frozen Bananas (qty 3)
- Organic Maple Syrup (3 tbsp)
- Tahini (1/4 cup)
- Mint flavoring
- Dairy/Sugar free Dark Chocolate Chips
- Walnuts (chopped)
- Spirulina (1/2 tsp)
Black Bean Brownies
- Black Beans (1 ½ cup cooked and drained)
- Raw Cocoa Powder (2 tbsp)
- Oats (1/2 cup)
- Sea Salt (dash)
- Organic Maple Syrup (1/4 cup)
- Coconut Oil (1/4 cup)
- Baking Powder (1/2 tsp)
- Dairy/Sugar free Dark Chocolate Chips (1/2 cup)
Carmel Sauce
- Coconut Oil (1/4 cup)
- Organic Maple Syrup (3 tbsp)
- Almond Butter (2tbsp)
- Sea Salt (dash)
Ice Cream First!
I placed the Bananas, Maple syrup, Tahini and Spirulina in my faithful food processor, Walter. Since the bananas were frozen it took a few noisy minutes for everything to combine and become smooth. Add a few drops of mint flavoring, taste it and see if the mint is just where you want it.
When you decide you are satisfied with the taste (hopefully you haven't eaten it all), transfer the ice cream to a bowl and add the chopped walnuts and a handful of chips. Stir well and place this in the freezer for a couple of hours to firm up.
Black Bean Brownies
Now before you say yuck, just hold on! These are wonderful, I promise! Just try them one time and you will believe me.
Place everything but the chips back in the food processor and blend until smooth.
Stir in the chocolate chips, leaving a few to sprinkle on top . Now pour into a parchment lined baking dish, sprinkle a few chips on top and bake at 350 for about 15-18 minutes or until knife comes out clean. Let them cool before cutting and assembling your masterpiece.
Finally, blend your caramel sauce ingredients together until smooth and creamy and now it’s time to wrap this thing up.
Slice up the Brownies, layer the Ice Cream, drizzle the Caramel and top it off with another Brownie
It’s everything you need in a sandwich! Enjoy @jaybird!
These are great for snacks too! You can prepare all of these sandwiches, wrap them individually and freeze them for later!
So glad you stopped by today ! The Steemit Sandwich Elves are busy working each week! Lots of great recipes to enjoy! Good luck to all this week!
And as always, blessings to you all!

Really? Did you really just whip up some healthy yet scrumptious looking nice cream sandwiches? You’re a magician. This recipe is brilliant @birdsinparadise! I might get stuck at the tasting for mintiness part… I love mint ice cream… at least I used to. Really, job well done. Standing ovation on this one 👏👏👏
hehe...this is totally healthy @puravidaville! You told me you love chocolate...so go for it! I would love to see the changes you would make in your wizarding kitchen ways! You always make me smile, thanks my friend! Enjoy your Sunday! :)
Oooh, I haven't made black bean brownies in a long time! I definitely bake more once the weather cools off like it is doing now, so I'll have to put these on the list! :) Always love your guilt-free treats!
Oh thank you @plantstoplanks! I know you are so great about what you eat, I do hope you'll indulge a bit :) I had to make up all of these and freeze them...to protect myself against myself lol
