Four ingredient creamy ice cream made with coconut, cashew, maple syrup, and optional tahini twist. Smash between two snack cookies for an easy and nutritious dessert!

No-Churn Maple Tahini Ice Cream Sandwiches by Flora & Vino

Did you have an ice cream man growing up?

Ours was the coolest.

He’d roll up in that tacky white truck playing The Entertainer and all of the kids jumped out of the water to pool their change.

My sister and I stood in line waiting, dripping wet, fists full of quarters, and when we got to the front, he’d call us by name and recall our favorite order with remarkable accuracy.

So, basically, he reached for the cookie sandwich when he saw me coming.

This No-Churn Maple Tahini Ice Cream is so easy to make with only 4-ingredients, and even easier to smash together between cookies for an adult version of my childhood favorite! 

No-Churn Maple Tahini Ice Cream Sandwiches

Have you ever tried making your own ice cream before?

I’ll let you in on a secret– this was my very first!

I use the blender so much to make smoothie bowls and shakes that taste to me like dessert, so I sort of forget about the real deal.

But nothing quite beats a cool dip of ice cream on a hot summer’s day, am I right?

This No-Churn Maple Tahini Ice Cream uses a blend of cashews and coconut milk to create a creamy base that’s lightly sweetened with maple syrup with a terrific tahini twist, because, well, you know about me and tahini…

If you don’t want to try tahini in your ice cream, just omit it and you’ll have a wonderful cashew coconut ice cream instead!

No-Churn Maple Tahini Ice Cream Sandwiches

I actually bought a REAL DEAL ice cream maker for this project, but at the last minute decided to wing it and make a no-churn version instead, in case you don’t have access to the extra appliance (or in case, you, like me, don’t have a ton of ice and rock salt on hand!).

The recipe is really simple, starting out in the blender to get silky smooth, then transferred to the freezer to firm up.

The trick to smooth no-churn ice cream is to stir it every hour or so until it hardens.

If you forget to stir or don’t have time for all that jazz, don’t worry, it’ll still taste great!

You can opt to blend it slightly before serving instead to make it creamier.

I like to let mine set out at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving to soften up.

Serve with a cookie scoop run under warm water and watch that maple tahini ice cream slide into perfect formation.

YUM.

No-Churn Maple Tahini Ice Cream Sandwiches

When I first went plant-based, I was delighted to discover all of the variations of coconut, cashew, almond, and soy milk ice creams at the store.

You mean THIS is vegan?! 

As I got pickier about my ingredients, though, I started buying these less and less and then not at all.

You’re going to love making your own easy ice cream using only whole foods fats to make it creamy and comforting!

I used a mix of cashew and coconut milk to make the base rich and smooth as can be.

The best part is that this ice cream is totally refined sugar-free, and you can control the sweetness.

For sweeter ‘cream, add a little more maple syrup, and for less, useless!

No-Churn Maple Tahini Ice Cream Sandwiches

Now that you’ve got the ice cream part down, you can eat it straight up or get creative with it.

An ice cream this dreamy requires an equally tasty and nutritious partner, don’t you think?

I smashed my Maple Tahini Ice Cream between two Vanilla Coco-Thins for the ultimate ice cream sandwich!

You’re going to love how the cashew coconut flavors of the ice cream are echoed in these cookies made with honest REAL ingredients!

Then I rolled them in cacao nibs in a fashion I’m pretty sure my old ice cream man would be proud of.

No-Churn Maple Tahini Ice Cream Sandwiches

Enjoy this No-Churn Maple Tahini Ice Cream as a fun dessert or anytime treat.

I like to roll mine into cookie sandwiches and store them in the freezer for convenient single serve portions.

It’s also perfect for dishing out in sundaes and layering up with all of your favorite toppings.

Oh, enjoy your cookie sandwiches at room temp as soon as possible or the cashew cookies will get soggy as the ice cream melts.

But really, why would you wait? 🙂

Hi, I'm Lauren!
You can find me in the kitchen making healthy and creative plant-based dishes with whole foods, on my yoga mat stretching it out, or curled up with a good book and a glass of red. Searching for balanced living in an unbalanced world. I live it, eat it, drink it, write it, photograph it, and share it all here.

Pizza date night tonight? 🙋‍♀️This VEGGIE Pizza date night tonight? 🙋‍♀️This VEGGIE LOVER’S FLATBREAD PIZZA is new on the blog today! 🍕In the post I share how M and I have never been on a *real* date and how we make up for that by doing dinner date-night ins. One of our favorite things to make together lately is homemade plant-based pizza! 😄 This vegan and grain-free pizza is made easily with @bobsredmill NEW Grain-Free Flatbread Mix! I love this new flatbread mix, guys!!! You can make it vegan easily with a flax egg. Bake it up then add pizza sauce, vegan cheese, and your fav toppings for a fun plant-based pizza night in! ☺️
-
You can make the recipe into one large pizza or two smaller personal pizzas (which is what we typically do so we can go wild with our own toppings). I went traditional veggie lover’s with mine but you can add any toppings that sound good. I’m a huge pineapple pizza lover whereas M thinks pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza. 🤣 Grab the full recipe via the link in my profile and let me know what you think!
