Raw Cookie Dough Ice Cream Sandwiches

(11)
"Wanna know what goes down in my kitchen on a rainy evening like this These “No Bake” Cookie Dough Ice Cream Sandwiches! They're RAW, VEGAN & obviously HEALTHY too.... The vegan cookie dough bars are made with raw cashews, coconut flour, almond butter, nut milk | maca powder, protein powder & more goodness! I then lathered a cashew coconut whipped cream in between two bars to create a mini “ice cream” sandwich! It’s jammed full of dairy-free chocolate chunks. If it’s not enough chocolate for you, do what I did and drizzle on some more if you dare. Now that’s what I’m talkin' about. Okay, peace dudes. Gonna go burn off some cookie calories..."

3. Chop vegan chocolate into tiny cubes.
4. Press the dough into a small loaf tin and then gently press chocolate into the dough. Push it around until there is an even coverage. I only 1/2 filled my loaf pan because I wanted a thicker slice.
