Gluten Free Vegan Brownie Ice Cream Sandwiches. Chewy brownie cookies, filled with creamy dairy free chocolate ice cream. Incredibly decadent and insanely delicious!
I will tell you, these ice cream sandwiches are seriously the most amazing ice cream sandwiches I have EVER had. That’s including the ones made with real dairy ice cream. Yeah, the ones I used to be able to eat, back in the day. These are not only dairy free, but they are also gluten and egg free too. No one will be able to tell as these chocolate ice cream sandwiches are too good to even put into words.
What makes these gluten free vegan brownie ice cream sandwiches so tasty? It’s those soft, chewy, oh so chocolaty brownie cookies. Yes, brownies made into cookies. They do exist! You can easily bite into these ice cream sandwiches, as the cookies stay soft, like a fudgy brownie. The trick? Using a liquid fat in the cookie dough that won’t harden when frozen. It really helps keep the brownie texture.
The other key element here is a creamy, over the top chocolate ice cream. I went with what I believe to be the best dairy free chocolate ice cream. So Delicious cashew milk chocolate ice cream. It is the closest I have tasted when it comes to texture and flavor of a dairy-filled chocolate ice cream. It’s insane! You could also use your favorite vanilla dairy free ice cream in these ice cream sandwiches, if that’s your preference. Mint chip ice cream would be pretty epic too!
No matter what, every bite of these gluten free vegan brownie ice cream sandwiches will be just as good as the one before. I can promise you that!
