Well, you can, and it’s actually super easy!

Easy Coconut Cookies and Cream Ice Cream

Who doesn’t love cookies and cream ice cream? It’s such a highly loved flavor and now you can make it at home to enjoy for yourself or with a group! It’s as easy as it is fun and is made with ingredients you can recognize, so you can feel good about digging in! You don’t even need an ice cream maker, just a blender and a few simple ingredients!

What You’ll Need

While this recipe doesn’t require many ingredients and hardly any effort, it does require a bit of time to freeze. If you plan to make this, you’ll want to start two days ahead of time by popping your loaf tin in the freezer to chill as well as allowing for a day (8-12 hours) to freeze thoroughly.

In terms of ingredients, here is what you’ll need:

Coconut milk or cream (coconut cream helps thicken the ice cream a bit, but both will work)
Monk fruit sweetener (for lower sugar) or regular sugar
Maple syrup
Vanilla extract
Cashew butter
Salt
LesserEvil Fudge Brownie Cookies (or cookies/topping of your choice)

For the cookies, I used LesserEvil’s Fudge Brownie Cookies to make the perfect crumbles that make this recipe taste like the flavor we all grew up loving! They are super delicious all on their own as well and are free from gluten while being made from better for you ingredients. You can use whatever cookie you’d like though to make this recipe free from dairy, gluten or whatever you need! You can also swap the cookies for your favorite ice cream pairing if you so wish.
