What Is The Texture Of These Cookie Dough Ice Cream Sandwiches?

What I absolutely adore about these healthy cookie dough ice cream sandwiches is that the gluten-free cookie dough stays soft and doesn’t harden into a rock when you store it in the freezer. There is nothing worse than biting into a frozen treat that is truly rock hard and might break your teeth 😅 Thesecookie dough vegan ice cream sandwiches are soooo extremely soft and delicious. It’s like eating cookie dough straight from the bowl with ice cream in the middle. Truly a match made in heaven.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Vegan Ice Cream Sandwiches

What’s your favorite flavor of ice cream? I know that’s a tough question. For me, it’s pretty easy though. Cookie dough is hands down my favorite, followed closely by mint chocolate chip. So you better believe that these cookie dough ice cream sandwiches hit the spot for me. It’s more cookie dough than ice cream which in the ratio department I definitely prefer. And the fact that they are made with some wholesome ingredients, makes me feel so satisfied after having just one square. More on the healthy ingredients below 🙂

Vegan Ice Cream Sandwiches

No baking is required for these healthy cookie dough ice cream sandwiches, which makes them even more perfect for summer! And come on, edible cookie dough with ice cream smashed in the middle! What on earth could be better than that?! I love that these vegan ice cream sandwiches are egg-free. A lot of my vegan recipes use flax eggs or chia eggs, which I really love working with! These healthy ice cream sandwiches are no different. We use 1 flax egg to help these vegan ice cream sandwiches hold together. I know of so many people who have egg allergies, so these cookie dough ice cream sandwiches truly are the best way to feed and nourish anyone with a yummy treat who otherwise couldn’t enjoy it.

How To Make Vegan Ice Cream Sandwiches

1. Make the raw eggless cookie dough which is just 7 ingredients. Then flatten it on a parchment-lined baking sheet and pop it in the freezer to harden a bit.

2. Then cut your cookie dough down the middle and spread dairy-free ice cream or any ice cream of choice on one half of the cookie dough.
3. Place the other half of the gluten-free cookie dough on top and freeze again until the ice cream is firm (4 hours or overnight).
4. Cut into squares and enjoy this amazing freezer dessert!

How To Heat Treat Gluten-Free Flour

You can heat-treat raw gluten-free flour in order to make it safe to eat! You can do this in the oven or microwave.

Oven: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Spread the gluten-free flour on a rimmed baking sheet in a thin layer. Cook for 5 minutes, then let cool completely before using. You can also store it in an airtight container until ready to use.

Microwave: Place gluten-free flour in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir flour and continue the process 1 to 2 times until the flour has reached a temperature of 165°. Cool completely before using it in recipes.

Gluten-Free Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches

Making desserts secretly gluten-free is something I’ve been doing for years now. If you’ve tried my gluten-free millionaire bars, fluffy vegan coffee cake, or my copycat homemade tagalong cookies, you’ll know what I’m talking about. So, when I say these vegan cookie dough ice cream sandwiches are secretly gluten-free, I mean it! No one will be able to tell it’s gluten-free and sweetened with all-natural sweeteners like pure maple syrup or honey.

For this recipe, we use gluten-free all-purpose flour to give the healthy cookie dough the perfect soft and chewy texture while also keeping the ice cream sandwiches nut-free. Usually, I like using a combination of gluten-free flour and another flour when I am baking something, but for this gluten-free cookie dough base, just the gluten-free flour works perfectly. Makes the recipe simple and allergy friendly. Win, win!

My favorite gluten-free all-purpose flour to use for this vegan cookie dough recipe is King Arthur’s Measure For Measure Gluten-free Flour. I also have made these no-bake vegan cookie dough ice cream sandwiches using Cup 4 Cup multi-purpose gluten-free flour as well and it works perfectly! The gluten-free flour you use must contain xanthan gum. You need to find gluten-free flour with xanthan gum, otherwise, these gluten-free ice cream sandwiches will fall apart. You can also add xanthan gum if you have it on hand and your gluten-free flour doesn’t contain it.
