Ingredients:
- 4 cups almond flour
- 1 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 quart vanilla ice cream
Instructions:
- Prepare the Cookie Dough:
- In two separate bowls, mix 2 cups of almond flour, 1/2 cup of maple syrup, and 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips in each. Stir until well combined to form the cookie dough.
- Assemble the Base Layer:
- Line an 8x8 inch dish with parchment paper. Press one bowl of the cookie dough mixture into the dish, forming an even layer.
- Add Ice Cream Layer:
- Allow the vanilla ice cream to thaw slightly for easier spreading. Spread the ice cream evenly over the cookie dough base in the dish.
- Top with Cookie Dough:
- If freezing the ice cream first, allow it to set before adding the second layer of cookie dough. Alternatively, press the second batch of cookie dough onto a piece of parchment paper and invert it over the ice cream layer carefully.
- Freeze:
- Freeze the assembled dish for at least 5 hours, or until completely firm.
- Serve:
- Once frozen, lift the ice cream sandwich block out of the dish using the parchment paper, and cut into individual sandwiches.
Enjoy these delightful Cookie Dough Ice-Cream Sandwiches, a perfect treat to cool down on a warm day and satisfy your sweet tooth!
