Matcha Ice Cream Sandwiches
Feb. 24th, 2022
matcha ice cream sandwiches are vegan, creamy, perfectly sweet and delicious. I love matcha ice cream so felt it was only fair I shared what I’ve been enjoying in the past few months.
These sandwiches aren’t difficult to make but they do take some time because it’s a multistep process.
Begin by making the matcha ice cream in your blender. Next, let it firm up in the freezer while you bake and cool your cookies. Finally, assemble the sandwiches and enjoy!
INSTRUCTIONS
Matcha Ice Cream
- To a high powered blender add coconut milk ice cubes and frozen avocado. Blend until the ice cubes break down and the mixture resembles granita, scraping down the sides as necessary.
- Next, add coconut milk, matcha, maple syrup, vanilla extract and pinch of salt. Blend until combined, scraping down sides as necessary. Mixture should be thick and resemble the texture of soft serve.
- Transfer to bowl and place in freezer for 30-40 minutes until the ice cream has frozen further and is a firmer, but still spreadable consistency.
Cookies
1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. In a large bowl combine cassava flour, tapioca starch, baking soda and sea salt. Add melted coconut oil and maple syrup and mix to combine.
3. Using your hands, roll the batter into 1 inch balls and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Flatten each cookie with your hand to an even thickness about 1/4- inch thick.*
4. Bake on middle rack of oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges begin to turn slightly golden in colour.
5. Remove from oven and let cool completely before handling or they will crumble.
Assembly
- Remove matcha ice cream from freezer to soften for 5 minutes if necessary. Dollop ice cream evenly between half your cookies and spread into an even layer using a knife or offset spatula.
- Place remaining cookies on top ice cream to make sandwiches. Enjoy immediately or wrap each ice cream sandwich in beeswax wraps or plastic wraps and freeze.
