Vegan Cashew Ice Cream Sandwiches
Vegan Ice Cream Sandwiches made with creamy cashew ice cream and chocolate shell “sandwich”. A delicious frozen treat made with healthy ingredients!
Servings: 16 ice cream sandwiches
Ingredients
Chocolate Coating
- ¼ cup cocoa powder divided
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil divided
- ¼ cup maple syrup divided
Vanilla Ice Cream
- ¾ cup raw cashew pieces
- ½ cup nut milk almond, cashew, or whatever you prefer
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Soak raw cashews for 3 hours. Line an 8x8 pan with wax paper or parchment paper. Set aside.
- Make the first chocolate shell layer: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of each of the following: cocoa powder, melted coconut oil and maple syrup. Whisk until smooth. Pour this mixture onto the lined pan. You need to work quickly as this chocolate shell sets very fast. Set this pan in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Make the vanilla ice cream: In a small saucepan over low heat, warm up milk and coconut oil until smooth. Remove from heat. Allow to reach room temperature.
- Drain and rinse the soaked cashews. Place the cashews into a small to medium-sized food processor or blender. Add coconut oil, milk, maple syrup and vanilla extract into processor or blender. Blend until smooth.
- Take the baking pan out of the freezer. Pour the cashew mixture over the chocolate layer, making sure to create an even layer. Carefully place the pan back into the freezer for 1-2 hours, until frozen solid.
- Make the last chocolate shell layer: In the same medium-sized bowl from earlier, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons each of cocoa powder, melted coconut oil and maple syrup, until smooth. Remove pan from freezer and quickly pour and smooth the chocolate mixture over the frozen cashew layer. Freeze for 30 minutes.
- Slice: Remove the pan from the freezer. Lift the bars out by pinching two ends of the wax or parchment paper. Slice into 16 pieces. Enjoy immediately.
