Easy Gluten Free Ice Cream Sandwiches
Jul 28, 2025 12:56 AM
These gluten free ice cream sandwiches are proof that summertime desserts can be indulgent, allergy-friendly, and incredibly easy to make. Fudgy chocolate cookies sandwich a scoop of creamy vegan coconut ice cream for a treat that's every bit as nostalgic and satisfying as the classic version, without the gluten, dairy, or artificial ingredients.
This recipe was born on a Fourth of July party years ago but become a summer staple by popular demand. Originally intended for the kids, the chewy ice cream sandwiches stole the show from the "fancier" desserts at the party, and have done so every year since (often accompanied by other summer favorites like ice cream pie or vegan mango ice cream).
The secret lies in the cookies: they're naturally sweetened, slightly salty in the best way, and stay soft even after freezing. They're easy to assemble, totally make-ahead, and a dream for potlucks or warm nights on the patio. Divine!
