Keto Ice Cream Sandwiches

Low Carb Ice Cream Sandwiches Recipe

This keto ice cream sandwich recipe makes the best ice cream sandwiches with just keto chocolate cookies and a pint of ice cream. The keto chocolate cookies are super easy to make and are baked for at most 10 minutes. Then, all you have to do is take two cookies and add keto ice cream between the cookies, and you have got yourself a keto ice cream sandwich!

I partnered with Keto Pint for this recipe, but you could make your own ice cream. It’s easy to use a pre-made keto ice cream you can find in the store and Keto Pint ice cream is creamy, with no added sugars and they are around 3 grams net carbs per serving.

This recipe only makes two keto ice cream sandwiches which are perfect for portion control. You don’t have to make a giant batch and worry about overindulging on keto treats or throwing out leftovers. You can also make up a big batch by doubling or tripling the recipe and store the extra homemade ice cream sandwiches in the refrigerator.

Keto Ice Cream

To make our keto ice cream sandwiches creamy and delicious, we partnered with Keto Pint’s keto-approved ice cream to get that sweet, cool filling. All of their ice cream options do not have any added sugar, are gluten-free, and have rBST-free milk so that you can feel healthy while eating what you want. Keto Pint offers every flavor you can think of that way, you won’t miss out on your favorite flavors while on a keto diet. Their large selection of keto ice cream flavors includes black raspberry, butter pecan, cake batter, cherry chip, coffee, and triple chocolate brownie. You can use any of these flavors for your keto ice cream sandwich.

If you feel like making your own homemade ice cream, you could also use some of our previous keto ice cream recipes, which include flavors such as vanilla ice cream, chocolate, strawberry, and even mocha.

Mold Ice Cream

Molding your ice cream before you cut it into blocks for your keto ice cream sandwiches is a significant step. You must first soften the ice cream by placing it in the refrigerator or using the microwave’s defrost function. You will know it is ready once it becomes semi-soft or a liquid. I recommend just getting it to a semi-soft serve consistency. That way it won’t take as long to refreeze it. Then, you pour or scoop the softened ice cream into a small square or rectangle baking dish lined with parchment paper so that the ice cream is around ½ to 1 inch thick in height. Finally, refreeze it and once it solidifies, cut it into a square or rectangle shape to fit between the cookies.

Keto Cookies

Keto cookies for ice cream sandwiches can be challenging to make, but this recipe has perfected them so that they are just the right amount of crispness and softness. To prevent the cookies from puffing up as they bake, we refrain from adding eggs or other leavening agents. We found that the best way to keep the cookies flat is to prick the cookie dough with a fork before baking it. We also use a gluten-free mixture of almond flour and coconut flour to get a flour that works and tastes similar to all-purpose flour. We also add just a hint of cocoa powder to make these keto cookies chocolate like a traditional ice cream sandwich. Of course, if you just want vanilla cookies, you can leave out the cocoa powder.

Cookie Shape

We use a square cookie cutter to cut both the keto cookie dough and the ice cream so that the cookies and ice cream are precisely the same size and shape. But if you do not have a square or rectangular cookie cutter, you can just use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the cookies and ice cream. You could even go for a nontraditional ice cream sandwich shape such as a circle if you want to make fun-shaped sandwiches.

Storage

You can store these keto ice cream sandwiches by wrapping them in parchment paper or wax paper. Then place them in a freezer-safe zipper storage bag and storing them in the freezer. Whenever you are ready, you can take one out and enjoy!
