Ingredients

For the Cokie Dough Base:

3/4 cup cashew butter (creamy)
1/4 cup maple syrup (organic)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup almond flour (organic)
1/8 tsp fine sea salt
45 g dark chocolate (organic, roughly chopped - I like the brand Hu)
30 g protein powder (optional, for higher protein bars - Use the code KATIE10 for a discount at Truvani)

Ice Cream Filling:

3/4 pint vanilla ice cream (I used my homemade cottage cheese vanilla ice cream (recipe linked above). Use one of the dairy free ice cream options above if needed as well.)

Instructions

1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cashew butter, maple syrup, vanilla, almond flour, salt, and optional protein powder. Mix until smooth and a dough forms.
2
Fold in the chopped chocolate using a rubber spatula.
3
Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides. Press half the cookie dough mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan.
4
Take a second piece of parchment paper and press the remaining cookie dough into an even rectangle. Place it in the freezer alongside the pan to firm up—this will be your top cookie layer.
5
After chilling for 10–15 minutes, remove from the freezer.
6
Spread the softened ice cream over the bottom cookie layer in the pan. Use the back of a spoon or offset spatula to make it as even as possible.
7
Gently place the second cookie dough layer on top of the ice cream and press down slightly to form your sandwich.
8
Freeze for 30 minutes, then slice into squares and enjoy.
