It’s no secret I love peanut butter. It’s also no secret that Nutella features regularly in my diet (or non-diet as the case may be). There is Instagram evidence that the two often coexist in my world – yin and yanging on a soup spoon or slathered on hot cross buns (yep, still eating them…)

Life involves so many big, important decisions. Sometimes, on top of everything else, deciding which spread to slather is too much choice. This combination is greater than the sum of its parts.  

I had been thinking about Nutella ice cream sandwiches. I often think about peanut butter ones. So why not have the best of both worlds!

Peanut butter and nutella ice cream sandwiches

Slightly salty and peanutty gluten-free cookies encasing a rich, creamy, no-churn Nutella ice cream. With only seven ingredients, these can be whipped up in as little as 30 minutes. After a few hours of freezing time you are ready to scoop and munch.

The peanut butter cookie recipe is one I found on taste.com ages ago and the fact that it is gluten-free is just an added bonus. The Nutella ice cream is based on Nigella’s no-churn ice cream; condensed milk is a magical ingredient that means the ice cream stays fluffy without any churning. (I must also draw your attention to My Brown Paper Packages’ Caramel Ice Cream, Malinda is always inspiring 🙂 )

The best bit about this recipe is that it is so easy! Actually no, the best bit is the crazy decadent ice cream cookie at the end. Still, the biscuit mix requires nothing more than a bowl and a spoon, and the ice cream just a bowl and a whisk (or electric beater).

Just like peanut butter and Nutella, both components are delicious on their own, but are unbeatable together.

Notes
  1. You can use any peanut butter you like. If using a natural one you might like to add just a pinch of salt.
  2. Refrigerating the cookie dough for at least half an hour before rolling helps make it less sticky and more manageable.
  3. Wait until the cookie have cooled completely before removing from the baking tray- they break up easily when still warm.
  4. Makes about 7 to 8 ice cream sandwiches depending on cookie size

  1. You are a genius! This is my kind of sandwich. I want some peanut buttah nutellah in my bellah!

  2. These look seriously delicious (I love how few ingredients the cookies have, yay!). Salty/sweet never gets old, it’s just too good.

  3. So I’m not a huge peanut butter fan Nicole but I don’t think I’d be able to resist this delicious combination you’ve created, Nutella Ice cream!!! Heaven!

  4. I think I’ve said this before, but I really need to stop reading your blog late at night. I already had one peanut butter cookie tonight and now I’m craving more. It would be so much better with nutella ice cream. I’ve been meeting more and more people lately who don’t like nutella and I don’t trust them one bit.

  5. I hesitated clicking on this link the last few days because I knew I would be far too tempted. Imagine my surprise when I saw you mentioned my caramel ice cream. Shucks – thanks!
    Kicking myself that I don’t have any condensed milk in the cupboard right now, this is exactly what I feel like tonight. (minus the 4 hours freezing time)

  6. oh wow!!! these look great! my favourite flavour in the world is peanut butter and chocolate. You’ve added a new dimension with the nutella. 🙂

I love to hear from you...
