Homemade Vegan Ice Cream Sandwiches With Soft Chewy Cookies

I made this Vegan Ice Cream Sandwiches for my aunt’s garden party last month. The cookies stayed soft around the ice cream, and my niece loved them.

Delicious Vegan Ice Cream Sandwiches

This recipe features soft, freshly baked cookies filled with your choice of vegan ice cream, resulting in a deliciously satisfying dessert. The preparation time is about 20 minutes with an additional freezing time, and the recipe yields 8 sandwich servings.

Ingredients

• 1 cup almond butter or peanut butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup dark vegan chocolate chips (optional)
• 2 cups vegan ice cream of choice

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine almond butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix rolled oats, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until combined. If using, fold in chocolate chips.
4. Form Cookies: Scoop the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, creating 16 cookie shapes (about 2 inches in diameter). Ensure they are spaced apart.
5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
6. Assemble Sandwiches: Once cookies are completely cool, take one cookie and scoop a generous amount of vegan ice cream onto the flat side, then top it with another cookie. Press gently to create a sandwich.
7. Freeze: Place the assembled sandwiches in the freezer for at least 1 hour to firm up before serving.
