Double Chocolate Chip Pistachio Ice Cream Sandwiches

These are delicious! I made these ice cream sandwiches using the basic chocolate chip cookie recipe on the bag of chips, but added 2 heaping tblsp. cocoa powder sifted into the flour mixture. Add dark chocolate chips and pistachios to the dough, then bake as usual. I used mostly organic baking ingredients for these. 

Freeze the cookies after they cool. Then get some good pistachio Ice Cream, Ben and Jerry's is non GMO, and it's really good, so I use that one. You can use any flavor ice cream you like for these. Add a few tablespoons of the ice cream to the middle of a frozen cookie, press another cookie on top and roll the edges in chopped pistachios.

Basic recipe for the cookies: Cream 1/2 cup butter with 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup sugar. Add 1 egg and 1 tsp vanilla. Sift in 1 cup all purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt, & 2 tblsp cocoa powder. Mix in 1/2 cup chips and 1/2 cup nuts. Chill it in the fridge while the oven heats up.

Heat oven to 375. Drop rounded cookie dough balls onto a buttered cookie sheet and bake for about 8 to 10 minutes. 

Yum!

Mango Tangerine Yogurt Pop

Here's another low calorie treat. These yogurt pops taste so amazing! I think you'll love them. Use any combo of fruit and yogurt you can think of. If you're vegan, try soy yogurt or just make sorbet pops. Yum!

In a food processor, combine 1 small container plain, fat free, Greek style yogurt, 2 tblsp honey, 1/2 a mango. Pulse till the mango pieces are combined with the yogurt.

In a freeze pop mold, pour fresh tangerine juice halfway, add the yogurt fruit mixture and then top with a bit more of the juice. I like to swirl the 2 together so it looks pretty. But I take pictures of my food. If you don't take pictures of your food mix it all together any way you like. Freeze and enjoy!!
