Chocolate Blueberry Muffin Ice Cream Sandwiches

Blueberry muffins are good, but Chocolate blueberry muffins with ice cream sandwiched in the middle are a whole different very delicious story! I used to think blueberries were flavorless and gritty. I would always opt for berries of the red and seed-speckled variety instead. Eating a high fruit diet has sharpened my tastebuds for subtle fruit flavors, making me much more appreciative of all things naturally sweet.

For my own very berry contribution, I took the humble blueberry muffin and gave it a chocolatey twist and a creamy filling. These are Chocolate Blueberry Muffin Ice Cream Sandwiches and trust me when I tell you they are just as yummy as that name is long. A mouthful of a name for a mouthful of a muffin! The chocolate blueberry muffins alone are something to crave. Blueberries and chocolate are another favorite pair of mine. I do not know why it took me 22 years to put cacao powder in the blueberry muffin batter! I wouldn’t blame you if you just left the frozen blueberries and bananas in the freezer and inhale these chocolate blueberry muffins filling-free.
