Step-by-step

  • First, preheat the oven to 350° (F).
  • In a large bowl, beat together the peanut butter and coconut sugar until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
  • Then, add the vanilla flavoring and maple syrup, beating the mixture again until the ingredients are incorporated.
  • Next, in a separate, medium-sized bowl, mix together the banana flour, arrowroot starch, baking powder, and salt.
  • Slowly add the flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture.
  • Then, slowly add in the almond/coconut milk until a nice dough forms.
  • Finally, stir in the dairy-free chocolate chips with the dough.
  • Line a 9 x 13 baking dish with parchment paper.
  • Divide the cookie dough in half and evenly press one half of the cookie dough onto the parchment paper-lined baking dish (you want it to cover the entire pan in a thin layer).
  • Bake the cookie dough layer in the oven for 12 minutes. Then, place it in the freezer.
  • Then, repeat the same procedure for the second half of the cookie dough.
  • For the ice cream, place the cashews in a blender with a pinch of salt and ½ cup of the coconut cream and ½ cup of the coconut juice from the full-fat, canned coconut milk, blending the mixture until it's creamy.
  • Next, add the frozen bananas, maple syrup, and ½ cup more of the cream from the full-fat coconut milk, blending the mixture until it's creamy.
  • Then, pour the mixture into a 9 x 7 baking dish and place it in the freezer until the ice cream is firm (you can always pour the mixture into a larger or smaller pan depending on how thick you want the ice cream sandwich to be and cut off the excess cookie or ice cream edges when forming the bars).
  • Remove the cookie dough layers from the freezer.
  • Next, place one cookie dough layer into a parchment paper-lined 9 x 13 baking dish.
  • Then, remove the frozen banana ice cream from the freezer and run a knife along the edges until it pops out of the dish.
  • Now flip the banana ice cream onto the cookie dough. By this time, the banana ice cream should have melted a little and can be spread evenly on the cookie dough layer without melting all over.
  • Place the second cookie dough layer on top of the banana ice cream.
  • Place the pan in the freezer for at least an hour or two.
  • Finally, remove the bars from the freezer and cut them into desired-sizes (if the bars have been in the freezer overnight, leave them out for a few minutes before slicing or serving).
  • Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer.
