🍦 Only 2 ingredients (plus optional toppings) to m 🍦 Only 2 ingredients (plus optional toppings) to make some yummy, gluten-free ice cream sandwiches.
Great for a Passover friendly treat or fun dessert for kids to help make anytime!
….
Ingredients: about 10 coconut macaroons, 1 pint ice cream (regular or dairy free), optional: dark chocolate or chocolate chip, and toppings (I used chopped pistachios and sprinkles).
Here’s how to make them:
Makes 8 using a loaf pan or double the recipe and use a square baking pan.
Line the pan with plastic wrap. Press store bought coconut macaroons into the bottom of the pan. I used 10. Take a little time to press the macaroons in evenly to you get a flat sheet. Pull the sheet out and repeat the process so you have top and bottom layers of macaroon.
Layer in ice cream of your choice. Press down so you get a packed, even layer of ice cream that is about an inch thick.
Place the macaroon layer on top of the ice cream and press down gently.
Freeze the pan for at least 3 hours or overnight.
Working quickly, cut into bars. I found a serrated knife works best. Place back in the freezer to keep cold.
Melt some dark chocolate (I used a 4oz bar). 
Dunk or drizzle the ice cream sandwiches with chocolate and sprinkle on toppings right away before the chocolate hardens. 
Place back in the freezer as needed to keep the ice cream from melting. Store in a container or zip top bags in the freezer.
Enjoy!

💗🐰Easy #snacktivity !! Recipe: 1/2 frozen banana, 💗🐰Easy #snacktivity !!
Recipe:
1/2 frozen banana, 1 cup frozen strawberries,1/4 cup frozen cauliflower rice, 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt, 1/4 cup milk (any kind), splash of vanilla, optional honey or maple syrup, to taste
Use a high speed blender to blend really well until creamy and smooth.
Keep the pink smoothie thick to add toppings or add more milk to thin it out and drink it through a straw.
And no, you can’t taste the cauliflower. (Not, yes 🤦‍♀️😆) But if you don’t have any, you can totally leave it out and it’s still a nutritious snack.
Turn it into a snacktivity and let your child decorate the top of the smoothie bowl. Show them this video if they want to make a bunny or other animal or just put out some fruit and let them chop it up and add it however they’d like.
Simple, fun, and yummy!!
Will you try it with your bunnies?? 😊💕

These 3-Ingredient Coconut Macaroons are so fun to make for Easter, Passover, or really anytime! Kids will love to help make and customize their own little treats.
If you don’t want to bake the mixture in a mini muffin tin, you can make round cookies instead. The instructions are also in this recipe post. I like to drizzle the flat macaroons with chocolate or even make them into sandwich cookies with Nutella or jam inside.
For the nests, you can really fill them with whatever you’d like…melted chocolate, store bought lemon curd, or caramel sauce 😋 Top with fruit or colored sprinkles for a Passover/non-holiday treat. For Easter, jelly beans or mini chocolate eggs are really fun.
Tell me…What would you put in your coconut nests??
@7eleven please 🙏 This is our official petition to @7eleven please 🙏 This is our official petition to get some of these awesome smoothie machines in the US.
We love a lot of Kombini (convenience store) snacks, including candy, pancakes, onigiri, and egg sandos, but the smoothies are such an easy way to get in some fruits and veggies too.
Plus they are on every street corner and only $2-$3!!
Want to know anything else about eating in Japan??

We love trying new foods in Japan and especially at the popular Combini (convenience stores).
I thought my favorite food critic would rate this tasty treat higher than an 8.5 but he’s tough. 😂 
I’m a fan of the butter and syrup filled pancakes on their own. Yum!
What else would you like Henry to taste and rate in Japan?
