Gingerbread cookie dough ice cream sandwiches

Vegan, gluten-free, dairy free, no-churn gingerbread cookie dough ice cream sandwiches! In this recipe, I combine one of my favourite desserts cookie dough ice cream with one of my favourite desserts of the festive season, gingerbread! Also, can you believe that it’s already October?!?!

I adapted the cookie dough recipe from my ebook. Call me biased, but I love it because it has a delicious roasted nuts depth and caramelly tones from coconut sugar. I combined it with a simple no-churn vanilla ice cream as I love having ice cream at this time of the year. Do I really need to explain myself?!

If you’re similar to me and get really stressed at this time of the year and tend to eat anything in your sight, I recommend that you shop at bulk food health stores! I love going to my local Naked Foods so I can get just the amount of ingredients I need for a recipe. That means no wastage and no anxiety about expiring food in my pantry.

Oh and I’ve created a video for this recipe! I recently have become addicted to cooking videos as it’s so much easier to take in information than reading, especially at the end of a day.

I hope you enjoy this recipe! Let me know if you’d like to see me develop any festive recipes over the next few months xo

Gingerbread cookie dough ice cream sandwiches

Servings: 12

Ingredients

Gingerbread cookie dough

  • 1 cup almond butter
  • 1 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup canned coconut cream
  • 2 tbs ground ginger
  • 1 tbs ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground nutmeg

Ice cream

  • 2 1/2 cups raw cashews, soaked in water for at least 2 hours then drained
  • 2 1/2 cups canned coconut cream
  • 4 medjool dates, pitted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 4 tbsp sweetener or sugar, of choice

Instructions

  • For the gingerbread cookie dough, add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl and mix with a spoon or with hands. If your mixture is dry, add a dash of water and mix until combined. The dough should be pliable and easily rolled into balls. (1)
  • Press half of the dough into a lined loaf tin to form a flat base. Turn the tin over onto a flat surface allowing the base to pop out.
  • Press the second half of the dough into the lined loaf tin.
  • For the ice cream, add all ingredients except the maple syrup to a high-powered blender. Blend until extremely smooth.
  • Pour half of the ice cream mixture into the tin. Spoon maple syrup on top then swirl with a knife. Pour the second half of the ice cream mixture into the tin and repeat with the remaining maple syrup.
  • Set tin aside in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until ice cream is firm.
  • Press the remaining dough on the top of the set ice cream, then set in freezer for 30 minutes or until firm.
  • Cut into slices with a sharp knife and enjoy!

Notes

1. The dryness of your cookie dough mixture will depend on how runny your almond butter was. I used home-made almond butter which is more solid than store-bought almond butter

    those look delicious. i would love to have recipe for vegan fruitcake – one w/ dried fruit and not the fake red/green cherries and pineapple you see in so many – and made w/ non-white flour. Any interest in taking that on?
