Double Choc Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches Recipe

Homemade ice cream sandwiches are one of those recipes that feel a lot more impressive than they actually are. Two cookies, a scoop of ice cream, five minutes in the freezer — and suddenly you’ve got something that looks like it came from a dessert bar.

Our Double Choc Superfood Cookie Mix is a great base for this because it bakes up soft and slightly chewy, with a sturdy enough structure to hold ice cream without cracking, but soft enough that you’re not fighting to bite through it straight from the freezer.

Getting the Cookie Right for Sandwiching

The key difference from a regular batch is thickness and bake time — you want a slightly flatter, slightly softer cookie than usual so it stays pliable once frozen. Almond meal helps here too, keeping the cookie from drying out or turning brittle in the freezer.

Double Choc Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches

Makes: 6 sandwiches | Prep: 15 mins + freezing | Bake: 9–10 mins

Ingredients

•             1 packet Mt. Elephant Double Choc Superfood Cookie Mix

•             1 egg

•             1/3 cup melted butter or coconut oil

•             2 cups ice cream of choice, slightly softened

•             Sprinkles or crushed nuts, to roll (optional)

Method

1.          Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced) and line two trays with baking paper.

2.          Whisk the egg and melted butter together, then stir in the Double Choc Superfood Cookie Mix until combined.

3.          Roll into 12 even balls, flatten slightly more than usual, and space out on the trays.

4.          Bake for 9–10 minutes, slightly under your usual time, until just set. Cool completely on a wire rack.

5.          Once cooled, spread or scoop about 1/3 cup of softened ice cream onto the flat side of one cookie.

6.          Sandwich with a second cookie and press gently until the ice cream reaches the edges.

7.          Roll the exposed edge in sprinkles or crushed nuts if using.

8.          Wrap individually and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.

Mt. Elephant Tip

Let the ice cream soften just enough to spread easily — too soft and it will squeeze out the sides once frozen and re-hardened.
