2. Ice Cream Sandwiches
Take your coconut milk ice cream to the next level by sandwiching it between two cookies! Here’s my favorite cookie recipe and instructions on how to make your own ice cream sandwiches:
1/2 cup oil (or softened margarine)
2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup water
2T almond or coconut milk
1 cup white flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 bag vegan chocolate chips
1/2 cup cashew pieces
handful of dried cranberries
1 cup sugar
Preheat the oven to 350F.
Mix all of the wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, mix the dry.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the wet to them, mixing it really well. I suggest using your hands.
Shape the cookies and place onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes (depending on the cookie size), and let them cool before gently moving them over to a plate.
Let the cookies cool completely before assembling. To make the sandwiches, turn one cookie upside down, add a generous scoop of ice cream, then top with another cookie, pressing gently. You can store these in a sealed freezer container for up to a week.

+ add your ownNice variety of desserts; the cherries would be great as a garnish for a Vegan Choccy Pie (seen elsewhere on Care2)
coconut-mango-ice-cream yummy :D
Thank you
PS... I forgot to mention that because I like my cookies crunchy and chewy, I double the quantity of the dried fruit and nuts on the recipe.
From "The Kind Diet"... best vegan cookies ever!!!
1 C quick-cooking rolled oats
3/4 C unbleached all-purpose flour
1/3 C vegan cane sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp fine sea salt
1/3 C maple syrup
1/2 C safflower oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp molasses
1/4 C chopped dried plums
1/4 C chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine dry ingredients and mix well. In a separate bowl combine wet ingredients and mix well. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir to combine. Fold in dried plum and walnuts.
Using hands roll tablespoon size balls and place at least 2-3 inch apart. Press down slightly on the balls to flatten tops. Bake 12-14 min or until golden brown.
For variety, replace all-purpose flour with whole wheat pastry flour, barley flour, spelt flour, or gluten-free baking mix (choose one that does not include baking soda or baking powder). You can also substitute dried plums and walnuts with any other dried fruit and nuts. I often use a raw unsalted trail mix blend and they turn out great.
This recipe is truly amazing. Everyone that I've shared these cookies with... vegan or not, has LOVED them!!!
Enjoy!!!
Peace & light
thx:)
Thank you
Thank you for the yummy recipes!
It's always good to see vegan recipes up there. I just had a simple sweet snack just then dried fruit and nuts and org coconut - I'm being lazy today, but the other day I made veganloaf with white coconut gravy.if anyone wants the recipe i can give you my blog link, blessings
If the brown sugar is not something made like "Florida Crystals" it is not a vegan recipe. Can anybody tell me why?
