Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Ice-Cream Grahamwiches!

This is oh so good, and oh so decadent!  It’s also very easy to make!  This is also very much an American dessert.  Between training for a half-marathon, preparing for a new job, and playing with my daughter at the park, I had a craving for something sweet, satisfying, cold, and yummy!  But, alas, I can’t really say it’s particularly healthful.  My grandmother was fond of saying “la gourmandise est toujours punie.”  This roughly means to avoid over-doing it.  With this dessert, a little goes a long way!

You’ll need to have on-hand:

Nabisco original graham crackers (or any other vegan brand)

Vegan chocolate chips

Your favorite non-dairy/vegan vanilla flavored ice cream (I used So Delicious made with Almond Milk)

Now for the secret ingredient:

The peanut butter frosting:

1/3 cup of Earth Balance Margarine

1/3 cup of all natural peanut butter

2 cups vegan powdered sugar

1 tsp. of vanilla extract

1 tablespoon vanilla soy creamer

In a food processor (I actually used my magic bullet), blend he peanut butter frosting recipe all together.  Adjust the sugar/creamer ratio to get the consistency you want.

When you’re ready to make the sandwiches:

Thaw half a pint of the ice cream so that it is easy to work with but not totally melted.  Fold in the peanut butter frosting with 1/2 cup of vegan chocolate chips.  Spread the mixture on the graham crackers and chill in the freezer for about 1 hr so that it has time to set.  Enjoy!
