Vegan Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches
Bring on summer! Bring on sunshine, hot days, balmy nights, and a vegan chocolate chip ice cream sandwich or two. Memorial Day weekend is here y’all, let’s kick it off with some good food, drinks, and ice cream. Of course I’ll be flying my flag, and taking many moments out of the hoopla to think about the men and women who have (and are) defended our freedom so that we can sit back and enjoy ourselves. But I’ll also be cooking, laughing with friends and family, and soaking up the sunshine that The Weather Channel has promised. Fingers crossed.
What says summer more than a cold and creamy ice cream sandwich? Were these a staple in your childhood summer diet like they were in mine? My brother and my friends used to rid our bikes to the swimming pool every day when we were kids and I think I had a chocolate chip ice cream sandwich every one of those days. Sometimes I had two, then a strawberry shake from the Dairy Queen! I was as skinny as a rail despite my propensity to consume ice cream on the daily. Those were the days.
Unfortunately it’s hard to find pre-made vegan ice cream sandwiches in most places, but that’s okay because you can make your own. And we all know that homemade tastes better anyway.
These couldn’t be any easier to make. If you can make chocolate chip cookies then you can make these. One batch of cookie dough will make approximately twelve large cookies, which will make six sandwiches.
Are you ready to do this? All right, all right, all right, let’s go. Yes I did just channel Matthew McConaughey. What about it? 🙂
Get your cookie dough batter ingredients together and make the cookie dough. I use Enjoy Life mini chocolate chips to make these. Take a one quarter measuring cup and scoop out the cookie dough. Roll it into a ball and press it into a large thin disk on a parchment lined baking sheet. I like using parchment because the cookies won’t stick and the pan won’t get dirty. Now bake them for approximately fifteen minutes or until they are light brown. Don’t over bake them or they’ll be too hard and crispy. Make sure you cool them completely before making the sandwich.
While the cookies are baking you can cut the ice cream disks. I use So Delicious coconut vanilla bean ice cream. My favorite flavor for this dessert is vanilla, but you can get as creative as you like—strawberry, chocolate, anything goes. The So Delicious container is made out of paper so it’s super easy to cut through. Let the ice cream sit out until it’s slightly thawed and then use a serrated knife and cut the disks. Peel the paper off and stack them with a square of parchment paper in-between and put them back in the freezer until you’re ready to assemble the sandwiches.
Kids and adults alike will enjoy this fun and delicious dessert. And you, you brilliant chef, you will enjoy getting major kudos from your fans, and, you’ll love how easy these vegan chocolate chip ice cream sandwiches are to make. Enjoy!
