How to Make Keto Ice Cream Sandwiches
These low-carb ice cream sandwiches are the perfect treat to enjoy on a hot summer day. They can be customized with chocolate chip ice cream or sprinkle-filled edges, it’s all up to you. If you’re gluten-free, this recipe is great for you too because it uses a grain-free chocolate cookie base. Now you can get all the delicious chocolate flavor without an upset stomach.
Ingredients
To make these keto ice cream sandwiches, you will want to start with the chocolate cookie base. These low-carb cookies use butter, eggs, liquid stevia, vanilla extract, and dark chocolate/or chocolate chips (chopped well) as the wet mixture. Then for the ice cream sandwich cookie dry ingredients, you will need almond flour (finely ground), coconut flour, erythritol, pink salt, and baking powder. Finally, depending on the amount of ice cream you want, you will need 1-1.5 pints of Mammoth Creameries ice cream. Their keto ice cream is super creamy and perfect for making rich keto ice cream sandwiches.
Why We Don’t Use Cocoa Powder
A typical store-bought ice cream sandwich recipe has vanilla ice cream and a chocolate cookie. Instead of using cocoa powder, we chose to use melted dark chocolate to give a much richer flavor. If you don’t have chocolate, you can add 2-4 tbsp of cocoa powder, just note you may need to add extra nut milk to thin out the batter.
Optional Mix-Ins
Ice cream alone is delicious, and keto ice cream is even better. If you do want to spice it up, you can always add extras into your ice cream to make a chocolate chip cookie sandwich with low-carb chocolate chips, or nuts for a chocolate walnut keto ice cream sandwich!
Making Keto Ice Cream Sandwiches
Now that we have our ingredients brought out, it’s time to start baking. To make our ice cream sandwiches, we will begin with the cookie base. Preheat the oven to 350 and line one 9×9 brownie pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Next, in a medium-sized bowl, whisk together your dry ingredients minus the erythritol. In a large bowl, melt the butter and dark chocolate together. Make sure to melt in 15-second intervals to prevent burning. Once melted, add in the liquid stevia, erythritol, and optionally vanilla extract. Mix well to dissolve some of the erythritol. Now that the erythritol has cooled down the butter and chocolate mixture, you can add in the eggs and mix again. Combine your wet and dry ingredients, then mix well to break apart any clumps. Pour the cookie batter into your baking dish and smooth out with a spatula, it will be brownie batter-like. Bake for 10-12 minutes, then allow the cookies to cool for 20 minutes. Afterwards, freeze them for another hour. Cut the cooled cookies in half and fill with your softened pint of ice cream. You will want to leave the bottom half of your cookies in the parchment paper-lined pan to allow ice cream edges to form. Place the top half of the cookies on top and press lightly to create a seal in the pan. Refreeze for another 1-2 hours and then slice into four ice cream sandwiches.
How to Store Low Carb Ice Cream Sandwiches
Obviously, low-carb ice cream sandwiches store great in the freezer, but like any other treat, they do have a shelf life. These almond flour cookies will last great wrapped in parchment paper then aluminum foil after slicing for 2 months. You can also pop the parchment paper aluminum wrapped ice cream sandwich recipe into a gallon zip lock bag in the freezer for a 3-month freezer life.
