Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream Sandwiches

This is the ultimate in Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream Sandwiches. If I made these for you, you would have no idea they were Vegan. That’s just the way I like it! Collect the recipes for Chocolate Ice Cream and Vegan Peanut Butter cookies and then put them all together for these amazing sandwiches.

I was pretty pleased when I made these Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream Sandwiches and added them on the menu at Sidecar Restaurant. You see, although they are completely Vegan no one really knew; and that is the whole idea for me.

I don’t just want to make Vegan food for the menu I want to make Vegan food that everyone is pleased to eat even if they have preconceived ideas about it and are a bit resistant.

These Ice Cream Sandwiches are perfect.

How do you make Ice Cream Sandwiches so the biscuits are crunchy and easy to cut?

Well that’s easy.

Make the ice cream and store as slices in the freezer. Then, make the cookies and store ready to use. When dessert time rolls around bring out the slices of ice cream and sandwich between fresh crunchy biscuits for the perfect dessert.

Simples……

This sandwich is so very good drizzled with caramel sauce. The version pictured below is Vegan of course. You may also notice in the video below that I sprinkle the dessert with a “powder ” of peanut butter.

Peanut Butter Cookies

• 190 gm plain flour 7 oz
• 2 tablesooons apple sauce unsweetened

Instructions

 

Chocolate Ice Cream

• First step is to make the ice cream slices. There is a full recipe with video and hints on the chocolate ice cream post. Link below. Put the coconut cream, sugar, chocolate and cocoa in a pot and gently melt. Cool in the fridge till cold. Beat the chickpea water, cream of tartar and the 100 gm caster sugar together till it forms a stiff white meringueFold this through the chocolate mixture in two batches.
• Line a mould with baking paper or plastic- I used a date roll tin. Fill the moulds with the ice cream mixture and cover well. Freeze over night or up to 4 hours till firm. Slip out of the mould (see video) and cut into slices. If saving for sandwiches wrap each slice individually and re-freeze.

Peanut Butter Cookies

• The full recipe instructions and video are in the post Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies Set the oven to 180 C / 350 F. Beat the butter and sugar till combined and fluffy. Add the dry ingredients and the apple puree (sauce). Mix till combined. Roll balls about the size of a walnut or 30 gm (1 oz) each. Put onto a lined tray spaced well as they spread when cooking. Bake for around 15 minutes or until golden. Cool on a rack ( they are soft to begin with) and store in an airtight box in the fridge. They will last for weeks in the fridge.

Making the Sandwiches.

• When you want to serve the sandwiches. Take the ice cream out of the freezer and unwrap each slice. Place between two biscuits and serve with caramel sauce and peanut butter dust .
