But the recipe for Vegan Ice Cream Sandwiches uses vegan and lighter ingredients. There is no limit for vegans to not eat this, just because this usually comes in a dairy category; this recipe provides a solution to that. We make cookies and place delicious vegan ice cream in the middle to make this sandwich. These will work fine for gatherings, family get-togethers, events, occasions, birthdays, and celebrations.

INGREDIENTS:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup melted coconut oil
- Quarter cup of plant-based milk
- One tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups vegan vanilla ice cream (slightly softened)
- Half tsp of baking soda
INGREDIENT NOTES:
ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR:
- We need flour to create the proper cookie shape to keep the filling in it easily. The cookie becomes firm enough when using all-purpose flour.
BROWN SUGAR:
- We need something to keep the cookies moist. For that, we utilize brown sugar, which also makes the cookies sweet. A slight caramel taste also comes along with its use. Coconut sugar is a substitute. It will provide softness in the cookies.
COCONUT OIL:
- Rather than using butter, we utilize coconut oil for softness. The cookies will become rich with their use. If you need an alternative, use vegan butter.
PLANT-BASED MILK:
- We need milk to include moisture in the cookies; for that, we use vegan milk. You may use any sort of plant-based milk for that. If you don’t have it, you may also use water, but the taste won’t be as good.
VANILLA EXTRACT:
- It can easily improve the taste of the cookies. The aroma that it provides is also very nice.
BAKING SODA:
- An alternative for this can be baking powder, but it will not provide the same feeling. Baking soda can easily help in the lifting of the cookies.
SALT:
- A little amount of salt can help enhance the taste of the cookies. It also cuts the extra sweet taste in the cookies.
VEGAN ICE CREAM:
- This is the main filling for the ice cream sandwiches. You may also use other vegan ice creams, like oat or soy-based.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Warm your oven to 180°C.
- Lay the sheet on top of the tray.
- Take a bowl to combine the coconut oil (melted) & brown sugar.
- Include vanilla extract and vegan milk as well.
- After mixing everything, stir in salt, baking soda, and flour.
- Create a soft dough from this mixture and take small pieces of it.
- Place each round piece over the sheet and lightly flatten.
- Baking time is 12 minutes for the cookies.
- Then, cool them on top of the rack properly.
- After they are cool, place the soft vegan ice cream on the cookie.
- On top, put the other one to complete one sandwich.
- Do with all the cookies and freeze for one hour.
- Finally, enjoy your tasty vegan dessert.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
- You can enjoy these sandwiches right when they come out of the freezer.
- For presentation and crunch, you can stick some chocolate chips on the corners.
- Spreading some vegan chocolate on these sandwiches will provide them with a luxurious look.
TIPS:
- Do not rush the cooling time for the baked cookies. They need to cool down properly first, and then you can place the filling in them.
- When using ice cream for the filling, make sure that it is a bit soft.
- Make sure you create even pieces of the dough before baking, so that the sandwiches can come out nice and neat.
