Gluten Free Vegan Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches (V, GF): a plant-based recipe for thick, creamy ice cream sandwiches made with chocolate chip cookies! Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free.
Happy June!!! Does this officially mean the summer’s started??? Please, someone say YES!!! Because this year’s been crazy, right? Feels like January, February, March and most of April was snow all day, e’vryday.
Then April and May were like, guess what?? Snow will be replaced by rain. And you have no choice in the matter!
Who knew April and May were so sassy?
But now that we’re safely in June (obviously the least sassy of the sassy months), the weather is going be awesome!!! Just, I didn’t jinx that, right? Erik’s been telling me that jinxing something good just by saying it/hoping for it/celebrating it soooo should not be a thing. Because if it is a thing, we can’t even vocally appreciate something good when it happens. And how uncool is that?
Speaking of cool (yeah, you so saw what I did there), may I present to you my Gluten Free Vegan Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches? Consider them my ode, my kickoff, my fireworks-level woooohoooo to celebrate summer’s arrival! Quick, no one check the official seasons calendar or whatever it’s called to verify that today is the actual day when summer starts. *narrowed eyes*
Just last week, as you may recall, I shared my official gluten free vegan oat flour chocolate chip cookies with you. It took me over a year to summon up the courage to share that recipe. Why in Cookie Monster’s name would I need courage to release such a recipe, you may be asking yourself. Or perhaps this far down the post your eyes are already glossing over and you’re wondering who you can tag on IG to make these for you.
Whatever floats your boat. 😉
Wait a minute, what was I saying? Oh yes, courage, chocolate chip cookies, etc. etc. So the thing is, I have this unnatural sense of nervousness when I share a staple/basic recipe. Like, this is what all of Beaming Baker is going to be judged on—whether or not this basic cookie recipe is good. And if it’s not good, BB will be written off, in perpetuity. . .
So those gluten free vegan oat flour chocolate chip cookies were not gonna go out until they were perfect. And until the recipe title was shortened. Which you may be surprised to find actually happened. Ahem.
But guess what? Turns out the recipe hardly needed tweaking from its original state. Goodness gracious. I was literally sweating bullets when I made that first retesting batch. Yes, I had actual bullets dripping of me. Okay… fine, I didn’t. But it doesn’t sound as serious if it’s not literal, amiright?
Anywho, once that first retest batch came out… wonderfully soft, perfectly chewy, seriously as satisfying as a chocolate chip cookie packed with guilt-inducing ingredients… I was like, YES. Ohhhhhhhh. YES!! And… what else can we make with these?
Answer: Gluten Free Vegan Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches
Because when is ice-cream upgrading a recipe not a great idea? This, my bestie Natalie, would totes agree upon. Side note, she seriously literally made a unicorn nice cream recipe. DUDE. Okay fine, saying that unicorn nice cream was literally made is now a bit spooky. So scratch that. . . And cover it up with sprinkles and marshmallows!!! <– Spoiler alert for her nice cream!!
Meanwhile, you can totally make these gluten free vegan chocolate chip ice cream sandwiches with your favorite dairy-free ice cream, this dark chocolate nice cream, maybe this super creamy and delish coconut chocolate chip ice cream, or, of course, the sooooo non-literal unicorn nice cream. 🙂 Or this peanut butter nice cream. Alright, I’m getting a little too excited about this. …
Here are a few delicious bulletpoints to convince you how incredible these Gluten Free Vegan Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches are. They’re:
- Easy to make, especially if you’ve already made my Gluten Free Vegan Oat Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Frozen dessert AMAZING
- Two soft, chewy, perfect chocolate chip cookies…
- Sandwiching a just-right thick layer of your favorite ice cream
- Vegan, gluten-free and dairy free
- Plant-based and allergy-friendly
- Great for dessert, a party (preferably by the pool), or breakfast (because: SUMMER!!!)
So whatcha waiting for? The summer to run away? Quickly, catch it!! Convince it to stay with promises of BIG, frosty platters of ice cream sandwiches!!! 😉 I’m so excited to share and create all the wonderful summertime treats with you this season! Don’t you think you deserve a few homemade goodies, right by the pool… with your favorite book in hand? I do. I can’t wait to hear what big plans you have for this frozen deliciousness! While I wait, tell me…
What’s your favorite ice cream novelty?
Sending you all my love and maybe even a dove, xo Demeter ❤

June 2, 2017 at 6:52 pmI have summer and I am holding it hostage until you send me 2 dozen of these cookie-wiches. And I mean 2 dozen entire sandwiches so 4 dozen actual cookies. And extra ice cream on the side just in case I run out because you know how I get around ice cream (CRAZY.). And considering the whole year long cookie perfecting process go ahead and send me an extra batch of the cookies too! Okay I’ll just come to you. But seriously, I cannot possibly think of a better way to celebrate those classic cookies than by shoving ice cream in between their fluffy chip-filled wondrousness! I totally know what you mean about the staple recipes though–flavors and variations are easy but the OG feels like so much pressure. But I’m pretty sure you nailed it because just look at them. And THANK YOU for the sweet shoutout my dear, put a big (dorky) smile on my face! Happy weekend..

June 5, 2017 at 8:15 amHaha. You know what, I kind of suspected you held the keys to summer!! After all, you ARE the ice cream queen! 😉 Extra ice cream: check! Extra cookies: check! 😉 The OG totally gets so much pressure!! Big hugs to you. <3 <3

June 2, 2017 at 4:32 pmYou must be narrowing your eyes at me, because I have a VERY strict calendar.. and by strict I mean, like type A crazy precise. So, just because you asked and I’m super nice and I love to be informative, I’m going to let you in on a no-so-secret, secret my calendar holds. The official start of summer is Wednesday June 21st. At approximately 12:24 Eastern Daylight Time. 🙂 I’m a huge dork. I know. But I love these weird factual things. They make me feel whole. hahaha. Anyways, regardless of what actual season it is, it is ALWAYS the season for these ice cream sandos!!!! I mean, hello, I’d eat these even if it was May and the weather was sassy and it was snowing outside. 😉 These are perfection, doll! Pinned of course! Love ya, my lil muffin. And I miss you SO SO SOSOSOSOSOSOSOSO much!!!! XOXOXO

June 5, 2017 at 8:13 amLOL. Of course, I should have totally asked you! But then again, you know I like to just ignore these things… Haha. Goodness, summer is pretty far off! And since we just about skipped spring, I guess I’ll just keep making ice cream until I can lure into arriving more quickly. 😉 Good for you and your facts! You do YOU. . Love ya my CheyBae! <3 <3 I miss you MORE!!!!
