Warmer weather always makes me crave a fruity dessert. If you like banana cream pie or banana pudding, these single serve cookie sandwiches are for you! We’re smooshing banana whipped cream topping in between two crispy vanilla cookies. If bananas aren’t your thing, you can substitute a different fruit, or nothing at all! Whipped cream is a blank canvas so you could just as easily stir in diced strawberries, cinnamon, mini chocolate chips, sprinkles, you name it.

Notes
These are best served chilled and even better when frozen! I also like to use the same size scoop for the whipped cream as I did to drop the cookies for the perfect cookie to filling ratio.
