Its getting hot out here and tubs of ice creams are disappearing from the freezer. Thankfully we have many locations of amazing plant based ice cream shops. I do make some frozen treats every once in a while, see list above the recipe. I don’t have an ice cream maker, so I always try to make ice cream that will work well without. This coconut vanilla ice cream stays creamy and delicious.
These cookie dough ice cream sandwiches have a simple oat flour and maple syrup based cookie dough with chocolate chips mixed in. The ice cream is a base of coconut milk, cashews, dates and vanilla. The mixture is cooked a bit to thicken. This thickened custard freezes well without getting icy or too hard. Slice these decadent sandwiches to smaller pieces! Add other flavors to the ice cream such as some cocoz powder for chocolate, add some nut butter swirl, chocolate chips, some portion of the cookie dough, candied ginger or fruit, berry compote etc.
Ingredients for these Vegan Cookie Dough Ice Cream Sandwiches and substitution options
- Oat flour (use certified gluten-free if needed), almond flour, coconut sugar/other sugar, cinnamon make the dry mix for the cookie dough. You can use more oat flour to keep the cookie dough nutfree.
- Maple syrup, some coconut milk and vanilla extract are the wet ingredients to bring it together into a dough.
- For the ice cream mixture, coconut milk, cashews, dates, and some oat flour is blended and cooked to thicken. Cashews do add a lot more creamyness to the ice cream so that it doesnt get very hard or icy when frozen.
- To substitute the cashews, use 1/3 cup or more cocoa butter to make it nutfree
- Oat flour can be subbed with regular all purpose flour. The flours are used raw(uncooked). You can toast the flour lightly on a skillet over low heat for 5 to 7 mins to lightly cook it if needed. Cool completely before using.
