A peanut butter and chocolate ice cream sandwich.

1 long baguette

Peanut butter

Chocolate nut spread, like Nutella

About 1 pint vanilla, chocolate or other ice cream, softened for 10 minutes

2 ripe bananas (optional)

Flaky sea salt.

1. Slice the baguette in half lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Then cut into 3-inch-long pieces.

2. Spread the insides of the baguette pieces with a thin layer of peanut butter on one cut side and a thin layer of chocolate spread on the other cut side. Spoon some ice cream in the center and top with banana slices if using; sprinkle with a few flakes of sea salt before closing into sandwiches.

Yield: 8 to 10 ice cream sandwiches.
