Valentines Day Chocolate Ice-Cream Sandwich

I can truly say I love Valentines Day – partner or not, make it the perfect excuse to indulge in a decadent dessert.

This recipe is guilt free, which means you don’t need to stop at 1! It’s sugar free, gluten free, dairy free and completely delicious.

Biscuit Ingredients

•    1/2 c nuts (I used activated almonds, although you can use any type of nuts you wish)

•    3/4 c pumpkin seeds

•    3 TBS Loving Earth organic cacao powder

•    1 TBS Loving Earth maca powder

•    1 tsp stevia

•    1 TBS water

•    1 TBS Coconut Magic coconut oil

•    3 tsp vanilla extract

•    pinch Himalayan salt

Biscuit Method

1. Place the nuts into a high-powered blender. Blend nuts until they are broken down.

2. Add remaining ingredients and blend until it turns into a batter.

3. Place the batter on some parchment paper.  Place another piece of parchment paper over the top.

4. Roll out the dough, then use a small glass to create round biscuit shapes.

5. Place in a dehydrator overnight, so they become crunchy and the moisture is removed.

Filling Ingredients

•    2 c frozen raspberries

•    1 large frozen banana

•    2 TBS vanilla essence

Filling Method

1. Make the filling around 30 minutes prior to serving

2. Place the raspberries and banana into the blender and mix until it’s an ice-cream consistency

3. Pour into a lined slice tin and place in the freezer for approximately 20 minutes (until the mixture is firm)

4. When the mixture is firm, remove from the freezer and use a cookie cutter to cut out the correct size.

5. Place a biscuit on the bottom, filling in the middle, and another biscuit on the top.

6. Dust with coconut or natural raspberry powder

TIP:  You can choose to assemble the ice-cream sandwich ahead of time and store in the freezer. Place at room temperature approximately 15 minutes prior to serving.  Apply the raspberry powder as you serve.

Enjoy!
