Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Coconut oil
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Dairy-free chocolate chips
• 1 cup Cashews
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 0.25 cup Agave nectar
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt until fully combined.

Step 3

Fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips.

Step 4

Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 5

Flatten each scoop slightly with your hand or the back of a spoon.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 7

While the cookies are baking and cooling, prepare the dairy-free ice cream.

Step 8

Drain and rinse the cashews, then blend them in a high-speed blender with coconut milk, agave nectar, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 9

Pour the ice cream mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer. Stir every 30 minutes until the mixture firms up, about 2 hours.

Step 10

Once the ice cream is ready, scoop a generous amount onto the flat side of one cookie, then top with another cookie, pressing down gently to spread the ice cream to the edges.

Step 11

Repeat with the remaining cookies and ice cream.

Step 12

Enjoy immediately or wrap each sandwich in parchment paper and store them in an airtight container in the freezer until ready to serve.
