Ingredients

  • 4 DOLE Bananas
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • a pinch of Salt
  • a pinch of CinnamonFor the Peanut Butter Cookies you will need:
  • ½ cup Creamy Peanut Butter
  • ½ cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1 ¼ cup Quick Oats
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • ½ teaspoon Baking Soda

Instructions

  • Slice the DOLE Bananas into round discs ¼ inch thick. Then place in the freezer for at least 2 hours.
  • After 2 hours, place the frozen DOLE Bananas in a blender. Blend on a medium speed, for about 1 minute until smooth. Then add the vanilla, salt, and cinnamon and blend again just until combined.
  • Pour the creamy DOLE Banana mixture into a container and let it freeze overnight. It's as easy as that!
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix the peanut butter and brown sugar together in a mixer on a medium speed for 2 minutes.
  • Add the egg and vanilla, mix until combined.
  • Add the baking soda; then add quick oats ¼ cup at a time.
  • Roll out the dough. No need to dust the surface with flour - the peanut butter makes the dough greasy and it won't stick. Use cookie cutters to cut out individual shapes.
  • Place the cookies on a baking sheet, and bake on a center rack of the oven for 6-8 minutes, until slightly browned.
  • Remove from oven and cool the cookies on a cooling rack.
  • Just scoop the DOLE Banana ice cream onto a cookie, and then top with a second cookie. Either serve immediately, or return to the freezer.
