Lemon and white chocolate cookie ice cream sandwiches

It's warming up here in Australia, especially where I am in Canberra, so I'm celebrating with ice cream sammies! These babies are vegan, gluten free, refined sugar free and oh so delicious. The cookies are chewy and crispy with a fresh touch of lemon and moreish white chocolate.

The ice cream takes these sandwiches to the next level. And because you'll be storing them in your freezer, they last ages... unless you eat them all beforehand!
The cookies can certainly be enjoyed by themselves. I had one for afternoon tea and another for breakfast before I even got to take these pictures. The cookies are pretty fail-safe as you just have to add all ingredients to one bowl and mix. The next time I'm babysitting kids, I'll definitely make these with them!

I hope you enjoy this recipe!
