Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter “Ice Cream” Sandwich

            Today at a work meeting, I started craving peanut butter and Oreos during my meeting (Yes-- like from the vintage Survivor episode). However, when I was at the grocery store after work, I thought of an even better idea and came up with the following concoction for a lighter dessert:

Recipe makes 2 sandwiches.

Ingredients

4 chocolate, chocolate chip cookies

2 tablespoons peanut butter

2 tablespoons low-fat Greek yogurt

½ medium apples

Directions

1.      Mix together peanut butter and Greek yogurt until a smooth and even texture. Adding a little low-fat Greek yogurt to the peanut butter maintains the texture of the peanut butter, adds volume to the filling and cuts the fat from the peanut butter in half.

2.      Mince the apple into small pieces. 

3.      Mix apple pieces into peanut butter – yogurt mixture, such that the filling stays smooth.

4.      Lay the cookies on a plate face down.

5.      Top 2 of the cookies with the peanut butter – yogurt – apple filling. Place plain cookie on top of cookie with filling to form a sandwich.

6.      Enjoy!

Tip: For a frozen treat, freeze “ice cream” sandwiches for 1 – 2 hours so that filling has a texture and temperature more similar to ice cream.
