Instructions
Ice Cream Instructions
-
Be sure to start with a chilled insert for your ice cream maker, if using (see Note 1).
-
Combine all ice cream ingredients in a blender and blend until well combined and smooth
-
Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until well-chilled (1-2 hours).
-
Pour into ice cream maker and churn until a frozen yogurt texture (be sure to follow instructions on your ice cream maker).
-
Pour out into a 9×12-inch (or larger) pan and place in freezer completely level (important!) . Freeze for at least 5 hours or overnight, until completely frozen.
Cookie Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350-degrees and line baking sheets with parchment or silpat mats.
-
Beat Coconut Oil and Coconut Sugar until smooth (either in a mixer or by hand), then mix in vanilla and flax eggs.
-
Add in remaining ingredients EXCEPT chocolate chips. Stir until well combined and then fold in chocolate chips.
-
Scoop out a 2-4 TB of batter, depending on desired size, and mold into flat circles (see Note 4) and place on baking sheet.
-
Bake approximately 10 minutes, though it’s best to underbake so they are slightly chewy.
-
Allow to cool 1-2 minutes on sheets before moving to a cooling rack to cool completely
Assembly
-
Once the ice cream is set, pull it out of the freezer and allow it to warm enough to cut out circles. I use the same biscuit or cookie cutter from making the cookies to cut out the ice cream rounds so they are the same size.
-
Once circles are cut, sandwich between two cookies (bottom of cookies facing in) and wrap sandwich-style in wax paper, securiing with a loose rubber band or string.
-
Because the ice cream melts fast, I put each sandwich on a plate in teh freezer as I finsih it.
-
Sandwiches can be made right away or frozen up to a week (or more)!
Notes
Note 1: You can make this without an ice cream maker, just know that the ice cream will be a little more icy than creamy
Note 2: To make this EXTRA creamy, use 14 oz of full-fat coconut milk and 14 oz of coconut cream (roughly 1 3/4 cup of each)
Note 3: To make 1 Flax Egg, mix 3 TB hot water with 1 TB Flaxmeal (i.e. ground flax seeds). Let sit 5-10 minutes to gel. One flax egg is equivalent to one chicken egg.
Note 4: I use a cookie dough scoop (like Oxo Good Grips, medium) to get even scoops and a biscuit or cookie cutter to get even circles. You could also use the rim of a glass.
