These Healthy Ice Cream Sandwiches are raw, paleo, vegan and gluten free! Smooth vanilla ice cream gets sandwiched between two chocolate cookies for a decadent and healthy dessert which only requires 20 minutes of hands on time!
Ingredients
Scale
For the ice cream:
- 2 15oz cans coconut cream
- 1/2 cup packed pitted medjool dates
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean powder OR vanilla extract
For the cookie:
- 3 cups packed pitted medjool dates
- 3 cups walnuts
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 3/4 cup cacao nibs
Instructions
- Add all the ice cream ingredients into a high-speed blender. Blend until completely smooth. Add into a glass or metal baking dish and place in the freezer. Freeze overnight or until completely set.
- The next morning, remove the ice cream from the freezer to soften while you are making the cookies.
- Add all the cookie ingredients into a food processor and process until the dough comes together and holds its shape when pinched. Press half of the cookie mixture into a 9x9 baking dish lined with parchment paper so that the paper overhangs on two sides, creating a place for your hands to grab and lift the ice cream sandwiches out of the pan later. Scoop the ice cream and smooth it over the cookie layer. Place in the freezer until set, bout 2 hours.
- Remove and press on the remaining cookie layer. Return to the freezer for 1 hour. Remove and slide a knife around the two edges that aren't lined with parchment. Grab the parchment and use it to lift the ice cream sandwiches out of the baking dish. Cut into 16 ice cream sandwiches. Store the uneaten sandwiches in the freezer.
