Ice Cream Sandwich - Bubblegum & Banana

Large, chunky chocolate chip cookies with 2 scoops of delicious ice cream wedged in between and all topped off with sugared, whipped cream and hot chocolate sauce. Ice cream sandwiches don't get much better than this!

The ice cream flavors in this sandwich were bubblegum and banana. Ideal for kids but personally I prefer straight chocolate and vanilla ice cream. Old fashioned? Maybe, but oh so good!

More Gelato Recipes

I've written about gelato ice cream before and introduced you to a nice vanilla gelato recipe which you can make at home. Now I have more gelato recipes and wanted to share them with you. I've chosen to cover chocolate and banana which I have read are 2 of the most popular flavors in gelato ice cream:

chocolate gelato (gelato cioccolato)
banana gelato (gelato banana)

The chocolate gelato recipe calls for dark chocolate as an ingredient and although I don't like to eat dark chocolate on its own, I find it super in ice cream or in this case gelato. I'm sure there are other people out there like me! There's something about blending rich chocolate into an ice cream mixture that becomes quite irresistable!

I read an interesting BBC article a couple of years ago about how chocolate can be beneficial to health and it led me to read up more on the subject. What I found was an amazing array of information, anecdotes and research in support of the idea and my chocolate and health web page was written as a result. There's so much to know and understand about chocolate and I'm sure there's still more to be learned.
