Dark Chocolate Macadamia Cookie & Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwiches

These dark chocolatey cookies with a hit of sea salt and crunchy macadamia nuts perfectly compliment a sweet creamy vanilla ice cream filling. In this recipe, I fill the sandwiches with Sola ice cream. If you aren't able to buy Sola ice cream, feel free to sub out for your favorite low-carb ice cream, whipped cream or try my home-made vanilla ice cream recipe!

ingredients

Cookies (makes 12)
½ cup (60 g) finely ground almond flour
½ cup (40 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons coconut flour
¾ cup (145 g) Sola sweetener
½ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 ¼ sticks (140 g) unsalted butter
1 free range egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup (135 g) chopped macadamia nuts


For the Sandwiches
1 pint Sola Vanilla Ice Cream (Or substitute your favorite low-carb ice cream or whipped cream)

 

directions

1. Make the cookies: preheat the oven to 350F/180C. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, mix the almond flour, cocoa powder, coconut flour, baking powder, salt and Sola sweetener together. Add the egg, softened butter, vanilla extract, and mix well, until a soft dough is formed, add the macadamia nuts and mix briefly until well incorporated. 

3. Spoon the dough onto plastic wrap and roll into a cylinder shape, approximately 3 inches in width, place into the freezer for 20 minutes to firm up.

4. Once the dough has firmed up, use a serrated knife to slice the cookie dough into 12 slices, place evenly spaced between the 2 cookie trays and press down each cookie with the palm of your hand, the cookies will spread out slightly but not as much as regular sugar and flour cookies, so make sure you flatten them out a bit.

5. Bake the cookies in the oven for 14 minutes, remove from the oven and place the cookies onto a wire rack to cool. 

6. To assemble the ice cream sandwiches, remove the ice cream from the freezer and thaw at room temperature for 5 minutes (this will make it easier to remove from the packaging).

7. Using a pair of scissors, cut the side of the ice cream packaging and remove the entire pint of ice cream. Warm a sharp knife under running hot water and slice the ice cream chunk into 6 discs.

8. Place an ice cream slice on a cookie, and top with another cookie. Repeat the process until you

have 6 finished sandwiches.  Serve immediately.
