Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup tigernut flour
- 1/4 cup tapioca starch
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 1 tbsp gelatin
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 3 tbsp dairy-free chocolate chips (sub carob chips for AIP)
- About 4 large scoops of dairy-free vanilla ice cream (I use this for dairy-free store-bought, use this for homemade/AIP)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a medium bowl sift the tigernut flour, gelatin, tapioca starch, coconut flour, and baking soda together.
- Stir in the maple syrup, coconut oil, and chocolate chips. Stir well until a dough forms.
- Using a medium-sized ice cream scoop (like this), scoop 8 evenly sized cookies onto the baking sheet. Use your hand to flatten the cookies.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes or until baked through. Cool completely on a cooling rack. Transfer to the fridge to chill further.
- While the cookies cool, set the ice cream on the countertop for about 5 minutes, or just enough so you can easily scoop it. Scoop about 4 large scoops worth of ice cream onto a small parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a rubber spatula to flatten to about 1/2″ thickness. Transfer to the freezer and allow it to fully freeze. (See notes for alternative)
- Using a biscuit cutter, cut 4 uniform circles of ice cream. Carefully sandwich between two cookies.
- Serve immediately or wrap in freezer-safe wrap and store.
Notes
You can also simply scoop the ice cream directly onto the cookie and sandwich them together, though it will be slightly more messy to eat!
