How to Prepare Raw Ice Cream Sandwiches [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Cookies: Process all ingredients together in a food processor until mixture starts to ball up. You want the mixture to be smooth, but have chunks of nuts in it. Remove from food processor and roll out into a 1/2 inch thick layer. Freeze 30 minutes. Cut out cookie shapes with a cookie cutter. I used a 2-3 inch round cookie cutter. Place back in freezer as you prepare the rest.

Banana filling: Process all ingredients in food processor until smooth. Place in freezer.

Dipping Chocolate: Mix all ingredients together until smooth. Take two cookies, and sandwich a scoop of banana ice cream between them. Place in freezer until hardened. Prepare chocolate mixture, and dip frozen sandwiches into them. I like to cover just half the sandwich in chocolate. Place back in freezer. You may let the chocolate harden and then re-dip for a thicker layer. Enjoy!
