Ingredients
Makes 6 to 8 sandwiches
For the oatmeal chocolate chip cookie dough
2 cups quick oats
¼ cup almond flour
¼ cup coconut sugar, or other medium fine sugar
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp cinnamon
⅓ cup maple syrup
1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp Natura Organic and Gluten-free Original Oat Beverage
⅓ cup chocolate chips
For the oat ice “cream”
2 cups cashews, raw and unsalted
2 cups Natura Organic and Gluten-free Original Oat Beverage
½ cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Before you start, make sure to soak your cashews in boiling water for at least one hour.
- Mix the oat flour, almond flour, salt, cinnamon and sugar in a bowl. Add the vanilla, maple syrup and oat milk and mix in. Press and mix.
- Add the chocolate chips and mix in or knead lightly to make a soft dough. Divide into 2 bowls. Press one portion into parchment lined loaf pan (9×5). Freeze for one hour.
- Shape the other portion of the cookie dough to about the size of the loaf pan and keep in the fridge.
- To prepare the ice cream, discard the excess water from your cashews and place them into a blender with half the oat milk. Blend until combined. Add the rest of the milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, and blend again until frothy and smooth.
- Pour your ice cream mixture over your bottom cookie dough base. Place in the freezer for 20 minutes, then stir the mixture every 20 minutes (gently so you don’t disturb the bottom cookie base) until the hour is up. You’ll stir the ice cream a total of 3 times.
- After the hour is up, place your top cookie dough over the ice cream layer. Freeze for six hours, overnight ideally.
- Once completely frozen, cut into 6-8 sandwiches or 12 squares. You can dip your sandwiches in melted chocolate if you like, or enjoy as is!
