Vegan and Gluten-Free Cookie Dough Ice Cream Bars

on a tuesday, we make Vegan and Gluten-Free Cookie Dough Ice cream Bars because that’s how you treat yourself early on in the week. there’s something about a delicious treat that helps us get through it.

Vegan and Gluten-Free Cookie Dough Ice Ceam Bars are better for you versions of typical ice cream bars thanks to quality ingredients.

the cookie dough base and top layer are extremely easy to make as you just need a bowl and a mixing spoon.

my biggest tip with this recipe, is that once the cookie dough and ice cream sets, flip it over so that the neat side aka bottom is the top layer.

this is solely for presentation purposes, so no worries if you don’t care.

the top layer is harder to press down evenly and smooth out unless the ice cream is SUPER firm, aka very frozen.

if yours is, then this might not even be an issue but mine became ever so slightly runny.

as far as vegan ice cream goes, you can use any under the sun for Vegan and Gluten-Free Cookie Dough Ice cream Bars!

the options are endless these days and that is a beautiful thing. i went with a store-bought vanilla bean that’s made with cashew milk.

when you lay out the ice cream on top of the first layer of cookie dough, it’s best that you let it thaw a bit so that it spreads more easily.

this can get messy though if the ice cream has melted too much, so it’s important to keep an eye on it when the ice cream is thawing on the counter. you want the ice cream to be frozen still but malleable.

if the ice cream has melted too much, it will just create really messy bars and run all over the sides.

they don’t have to be perfect by any means, mine certainly aren’t but these are just tips that help!

i used mini dairy free chocolate chips in the bars but you can use whatever you want, regular size is just fine!
