Peanut Butter & Jelly Swirled Ice Cream with Vanilla Wafer Cookies

Peanut butter and jelly infused into ice cream? Yup, and it's a slam dunk! Use your favorite preserves (raspberry, blackberry, orange marmalade) instead of grape, if desired. This recipe comes from one of my favorite cookbook authors for fast & family-friendly delicious meals….Robin Miller Quick Fix Meals.

SERVES 6
••
3 cups low-fat vanilla ice cream, softened
1/3 cup grape jelly or jam or strawberry preserves
1/3 cup smooth peanut butter
12 vanilla wafer cookies

Combine the ice cream, jelly, and peanut butter in a large bowl. Gently stir to combine, leaving streaks of jelly and peanut butter throughout the ice cream. Spoon into dessert bowls and garnish with wafer cookies.

Total Time: 10 minutes
PREP TIME: 10 MINUTES

PREP POINTER:
Soften the ice cream in the microwave on 50% power for 15 to 30 seconds.

GOOD HEALTH note:
Opt for light or low-fat ice cream and, per 1/2 cup serving, dodge about 75 calories, 9 grams of fat, and 6 grams of artery-jamming saturated fat.
