Keto Ice Cream Sandwiches
2. Mix Up the Cookie Dough
In a large bowl, whisk together your dry ingredients: 1 cup almond flour, 3 tablespoons coconut flour, ½ cup erythritol sweetener, baking powder, and sea salt. Pour in your ¼ cup of melted butter, the egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir vigorously with a spatula until a thick, uniform dough forms. 🌪️🥣
3. Scoop and Flatten
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll them into compact balls. Place them onto your lined baking sheet, leaving space between them. Using the palm of your hand, gently press each ball down into a uniform, flat disc shape—remember, keto cookies won’t spread dramatically on their own, so shaping them now ensures perfect sandwich tops later! 🍪📏
4. Bake to Golden Perfection
Pop the tray into the center rack of your oven and bake for 10–12 minutes. You want the edges to look beautifully golden-brown while the centers stay soft. Remove them from the oven and let them cool on the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. ⏲️🔥
5. The Magic Assembly
Once the cookies are thoroughly chilled (pro tip: pop them in the freezer for 15 minutes first!), grab your low-carb vanilla ice cream. Place one cookie flat-side up, add a large, generous scoop of ice cream right in the center, and press a second cookie on top. Gently squeeze until the ice cream spreads perfectly to the edges! 🍦🥪
6. Freeze and Serve
Place the assembled sandwiches back onto a parchment-lined tray and freeze for at least 30–60 minutes to let the ice cream firm up around the cookies. Wrap them up, grab a sandwich, and dive right in! 🍽️🎉😋
✨ Chef’s Recipe Notes:
- The Soft Cookie Secret: To keep the cookies from freezing rock-hard, make sure not to overbake them! Keeping them slightly soft ensures that when you bite into the sandwich, the ice cream doesn’t squish out the sides. 🤫🍪
- Fun Texture Upgrades: Want to make these extra decadent? Roll the edges of your assembled ice cream sandwiches in sugar-free chocolate chips, crushed macadamia nuts, or toasted coconut flakes right before the final freeze! 🍫🥥🥜
- Storage Hack: Wrap individual sandwiches tightly in plastic wrap and store them in an airtight freezer bag. They will keep beautifully for up to 2 months, making them the ultimate grab-and-go low-carb dessert emergency stash! ❄️⏳
