One of my favorite memories from childhood was opening my Raggedy Ann lunch box to find mama had used heart shaped cookie cutters on my sandwich. I unwrapped love in my lunchbox…It’s the little things, mamas. So, I set out to make a THM sugar cookie ice cream sandwich for my Valentines. Though capturing it on video did not go as planned, The Salesman ate the rejects, and liked them!
Life is beautiful, and sweet, even without sugar.
I made the cookies, pulled out my mama’s cookie cutters and went to work to create my own naturally sweet Valentine treats. Since I am an Aldi fan, I used their Halo Top knock-off protein ice cream called Sundae Shoppe, as my sandwich filling. Then I chopped up their organic raspberries to use as my colorful, and natural, sprinkles. The Salesman liked it.
The end.
Make these Mamas! And make them beautiful.
Life is beautiful, and sweet, even without sugar.
