CLEAN EATING COOKIE DOUGH ICE CREAM SANDWICHES
Warm weather and ice cream go hand in hand. I wanted to try making edible cookie dough into ice cream sandwiches and succeeded! This recipe is super easy to make and it’s fun for kids.
The hard part is waiting for the cookie dough to freeze! You’ll need it to freeze for approximately 24 hours so plan in advance. We wanted to eat the dough right away but we settled for licking the spoon instead. 😉
OUR FAVORITE INGREDIENTS:
NUT BUTTER
Use cashew butter or almond butter for this recipe. The ingredients in your nut butter should be nuts and salt (that’s it!). If your nut butter does not contain salt you may need to add an extra dash to the recipe. You can taste it once it’s mixed to see if additional salt is needed.
DARK CHOCOLATE CHIPS
You can either purchase a dark chocolate bar (70% or higher) and then break the bar up into chunks (we use a meat tenderizer) or use dark chocolate morsels.
ICE CREAM
We love Halo Top and Enlightened Ice Cream. They both have dairy and dairy-free options. You can find them in the freezer section in most grocery stores. The nutrition facts/macros listed in this recipe do not include ice cream since the macros will vary depending on which brand you use.
