INGREDIENTS

Maple walnut nice cream

  • 3 medium bananas, previously frozen
  • 1/4 cup walnut butter made with the NutraMilk
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup more or less, depending on preference
  • 2 tsp maple extract (optional)

For sandwich cookies

  • 3/4 cup raw almonds (or other nuts of choice)
  • 1/2 cup GF rolled oats (optional*)
  • 5 soft Medjool dates, soaked in water for 10 minutes
  • 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt

For walnut butter

  • 1 cup (105g) raw walnuts
  • 1/8 teaspoon Pink Himalayan salt (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Making walnut butter
    • Place walnuts and salt in the NutraMilk container.
    • Press Butter cycle, set for 5-6 minutes.
    • Press Start.
    • Open the container lid.
    • If necessary, set for an additional 1-2 minutes for a creamier butter.
  • Slice the frozen bananas to 1 inch slices, if not previously sliced.
  • Add frozen banana slices, walnut butter, maple syrup and maple extract and process until smooth.

  • Pour into a glass (pyrex) or metal loaf pan. Cover with plastic wrap or lid and freeze.

  • Place almonds in the NutraMilk and process until a fine powder is created. Add in the dates and vanilla extract, and process again until a uniform, sticky dough is formed.

  • Transfer the cookie dough to a pan lined with parchment paper, and use your hands (wet hands can help prevent sticking) to shape the dough into a rectangle shape, about 1/4-inch thick. Place the dough in the freezer to set for 20 minutes, then use a large knife to cut the dough into 8 rectangular cookies. Return the cookies to the freezer.

  • Remove the cookies and nice cream from the freezer. Place a large spoonful of ice cream on to four of the sandwich sides. Use the other four cookies to create sandwiches, then press the cookies together to even-out the ice cream middles. Place in the freezer to allow the ice cream to solidify, about 20-30 minutes, then serve!

Notes: *For paleo-approved recipe: Omit gluten-free oats.
