Homemade It's-It Ice Cream Sandwich

Ingredients:

1 cup almond butter

3/4 cup oats

1/4 cup Zen Basil Seeds

1/4 cup sweetener of choice

1/4 cup cacao powder

2 tablespoons coconut oil

1/4 cup dark chocolate

16 oz cottage cheese

2 Coconut Zen Hydrates

Instructions:

Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients needed for the ice cream cookies, except for the melted dark chocolate.

Mix the Dough: In a bowl, combine almond butter, oats, Zen Basil Seeds, sweetener, and cacao powder. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.

Prepare Tray: Line a cooking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Shape Cookies: Take the mixed dough and form it into cookie shapes. Place each cookie on the prepared cooking tray.

Freeze: Place the tray with the shaped cookies in the freezer. Let them freeze for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, until they are firm.

Prepare Chocolate Topping: While the cookies are freezing, heat up coconut oil with some dark chocolate until melted. Keep this mixture aside for later use.

Make Ice Cream: In a food processor, combine 16 oz of cottage cheese with 2 Coconut Zen Hydrates. Blend until smooth. Transfer the mixture into a container suitable for freezing and let it freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until it solidifies.

Assemble: Once the cookies and ice cream are properly frozen, remove them from the freezer.

Add Chocolate Topping and Harden: Pour the melted dark chocolate over each frozen cookie, covering them completely with a layer of chocolate. Then, return the tray to the freezer for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the chocolate topping to harden and set properly.

Serve: Plate the chocolate-coated cookies alongside scoops of the prepared ice cream. Enjoy your delicious ice cream cookies!
