About a month ago I was invited to participate in the Jif Most Creative Peanut Butter Sandwich Contest, and being the huge peanut butter lover that I am, I wasn’t about to refuse!
A couple of weeks after accepting these arrived in the mail, three whole jars of Jif Peanut Butter, in Natural, Extra Crunchy, and Creamy!
Woo Hoo!
The daydreamer wheels began turning in my head… and suddenly I came up with an idea!
A rich double peanut butter banana ice cream, sandwiched between two peanut butter smothered and toasted crustless sandwich bread slices.
Now, try and say that 5 times in a row with a mouthfull of peanut butter, haha.
So, to prepare one of these babies, we begin by making the Double Peanut Butter Banana Ice Cream; preferably a day in advance.
Once the ice cream has made and been frozen, we continue the process by taking two crustless sandwich bread slices, you can use cookie cutters to cut them into any shape you like or leave them as is, square (don’t take this as a personal reflection of me, LOL).
Next we smother them with a little (or a lot) of Natural Jif Creamy Peanut Butter, then we toast the slices in a pre-buttered pan, chill and then fill with our double peanut butter banana ice cream!
Without further ado… below is my entry into the Jif Most Creative Peanut Butter Sandwich Contest, I hope you enjoy them as much as my family and I did!

i love the combo of pb and banana. i used to eat them together in a sandwich with some honey! i’m sure “ice cream” form just tastes fabulous!
Looks like a winner to me!
You really went all out making the peanut butter banana ice cream as well as the sandwich bread crisps! The ice cream alone looks awesome. This is a delicious way to showcase the yummy flavor of peanut butter-gets my vote!
What a great idea! Love it! Yummmmm!
I love this! I bet the crunch of the toast is perfect!
Hope you win with this one, something my girls would go crazy for. I made peanut butter ice cream the other day, but never thought about adding a banana, will try for sure. Good luck

Wow! That looks great. What a great entry. Good luck.
I’m all over this! It almost makes me think it’s like a grilled cheese-esque ice cream sandwich!
Mmm love this combination!
OMG – that is AMAZING! I have happily buzzed this!
What a delicious recipe! I love the idea of using bread as the sandwich part. Yum!
What a creative idea, these look so delicious!!
Oh my goodness, I was salivating before I hit “read more”. Peanut Butter Banana ice cream YUM!
By the way, how did you do in the contest?
Very different to use bread instead of cookies. Super creative idea!
At first I thought it was sandwiched between peanut butter cookies… but I love this idea. I hope you win!
Oh my! This looks DIVINE! Love this!!

Delightful Bitefuls
I wasn’t so fond of the bread baked with the peanut butter. First time I burnt the bread when on the frying pan, next I tried it in the toaster oven the peanut butter stuck to the foil. I instead switch the bread to graham crackers which worked well and tasted delicious. I also baked some coconut and add a dash of cinnamon on each sandwich…I recommend a try. The recipe was a great inspiration, I hope you won!
Sorry the peanut butter toast didn’t work out for you, but glad you found a nice substitution. Thanks for the well wishes, I’ll definitely let everyone know if I win.
