NEW RECIPE!

Chocolate Peanut Butter and Banana Ice Cream Cups.
Makes 24 mini cups.

Ingredients:
​3 cups of Chocolate Chips (semi-sweet, milk or dark)
3 TBSP of Butter

1/2 cup of Vanilla Ice Cream
1/2 cup of Peanut Butter
1 Banana - thinly sliced into 24 pieces

Sprinkles (optional)
​
I have this Mini Muffin Silicone Mold ​
​but... These are cuter​

Directions:
​In a microwave safe bowl, melt 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips with 1 1/2 TBSP of butter - heat for 1 minute and stir. If needed, heat in 10 second intervals, stirring in between each one until the chocolate chips are melted, do not over heat.
​
Using a spoon, fill the bottom of each mini muffin with chocolate and press up against the sides so that the entire area of each mini muffin is covered with a layer of thin chocolate.
​
In each mini muffin, dollop in a small teaspoon of vanilla ice cream.
​
Top each ice cream dollop with a small teaspoon of peanut butter.
​
Then place a thin sliced banana on top of the peanut butter.
​
In a microwave safe bowl, melt the remainder of the chocolate chips and butter - heat for 1 minute and stirring. If needed, heat in 10 second intervals, stirring between each one until the chocolate chips are melted, do not over heat.
​
Spread another thin layer of chocolate over the banana to close the cup.
​
Add sprinkles.
​
Place in the freezer until it is set (about 2 hours).
​
Store in the freezer.
