Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Dessert
Serves: 8 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Remove the vanilla ice cream from the freezer and let it soften at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond flour, melted coconut oil, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until a cohesive cookie dough forms.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the cookie mixture evenly and press it down to create a flat, uniform layer approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to allow the cookie base to firm up and become more manageable.
- Remove the chilled cookie base from the refrigerator and cut into 16 equal rectangular shapes using a sharp knife or cookie cutter.
- Carefully transfer half of the cookie rectangles to a clean parchment-lined tray.
- Scoop softened vanilla ice cream onto each of these cookie bases, spreading it evenly to create a smooth layer.
- Gently place the remaining cookie rectangles on top of the ice cream, creating sandwiches.
- Place the ice cream sandwiches in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to allow them to set and become firm.
- Before serving, let the sandwiches sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes to soften slightly for easier eating.
Tips
- Softening is Key: Allow your ice cream to soften just enough to be spreadable, but not completely melted.
- Chill Your Cookie Base: Refrigerating the cookie mixture helps create a firmer, more manageable texture.
- Use Parchment Paper: This prevents sticking and makes handling and cutting your cookies much easier.
- Uniform Thickness Matters: Try to keep your cookie base an even 1/4 inch thick for consistent results.
- Quick Freeze Technique: The brief freezing helps set the sandwiches and makes them easier to handle.
- Room Temperature Serving: Let the sandwiches sit out for 2-3 minutes before serving for the perfect texture.
- Storage Tip: Wrap individual sandwiches in plastic wrap and store in the freezer for up to a week.
