Prepration for:Choco Chip Ice Cream Sandwich (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Soy-Free)

Step 1/4

Make the Ice Cream

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chilled coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in chopped chocolate. Pour mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze for 4–6 hours, stirring every hour for a soft churn effect. Once firm, scoop into balls and freeze again on parchment paper for 30 minutes before assembling.

Step 2/4

Prepare the Chocolate Cookies

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix dry ingredients: almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in wet ingredients: melted coconut oil, applesauce, vanilla. Form dough and roll out between two parchment sheets. Cut into circles with a cookie cutter. Bake for 10–12 minutes. Cool completely on a rack.

Step 3/4

Assemble Sandwiches

Once cookies are fully cooled and ice cream is scoopable but firm, place a scoop of ice cream between two cookies. Press gently, then place in the freezer for another 30 minutes to firm up.

Step 4/4

🌟 Optional Garnish

Dust with coconut milk powder or arrowroot powder for a powdered sugar look. Roll edges in crushed nuts or shredded coconut for extra flair.
