"From its humble beginnings using little-known jelly flavors like currant and crab apple to lavish modern-day grilled and deep-fried variations, the humble PB&J has come a long way. Seen largely as a dessert-style sandwich, peanut butter and jelly offers a lot of room for culinary creativity and putting even more of a sweet spin on a classic favorite. For your next sandwich, put ice cream in your filling for a delightful à la mode-inspired addition."
"With so many creative ways to upgrade your peanut butter and jelly sandwich, turning it into an ice cream sandwich truly elevates the flavor and texture into a brand-new dish. You'll want to take a few precautions to ensure the melty ice cream doesn't drip out of your sandwich or make the bread soggy. Toasting or grilling your bread slices and using a thicker or more dense style of bread is ideal. Additionally, rather than topping the sandwich with a scoop of ice cream, try using a warm knife to cut through a pint of ice cream to create thin slabs to use inside the sandwich."
Peanut butter and jelly can be transformed into a creamy ice cream sandwich by placing thin slabs of ice cream between slices of bread. Toasting or grilling thicker, denser bread like brioche or pumpernickel helps prevent melting ice cream from making the bread soggy. Use a warm knife to slice a pint of ice cream into thin slabs rather than scooping a single scoop on top. Experiment with creamy or crunchy peanut butter, varied jellies such as strawberry or grape, and diverse ice cream flavors to create many flavorful combinations. Grilled or deep-fried versions and nostalgic jelly varieties expand the concept further.
