Pro Tips for Success
-
Freeze the Fruit in Advance – For the creamiest texture, freeze the bananas and blueberries at least a day ahead of time. This makes blending smooth and easy!
-
Swap the Nuts – Not a fan of almonds? Try walnuts, pecans, or pistachios for a different crunch. You can even leave them out for a nut-free version!
-
Let the Ice Cream Set – After blending, let the ice cream freeze for at least 12 hours before making the sandwiches. This helps it firm up for the perfect scoop!
These blueberry almond ice cream wafflewiches are a fun, fruity, and creamy dessert that’s great for hot summer days, parties, or anytime you need a cool treat.
Make a batch ahead of time and enjoy every crunchy, creamy bite!
