Up through fourth grade, I went to really small schools. We didn’t have a cafeteria in either, so when I went to the local public school in fifth grade, a whole new world opened up to me. A world that involved being able to purchase ice cream at lunchtime. This was epic! I think I convinced my mom to give me fifty cents to buy a chocolate eclair bar about once a week. Then, as a realllly special treat, I could occasionally get a dollar out of her to buy one of those packages chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches. This was like heaven to me. Same thing happened when we used to go to the community pool in the summer and the ice cream truck would show up. My sister and I were allowed to get popsicles or Italian ices or ice cream bars most days, but sometimes, just sometimes I could get that chocolate chip cookie sandwich. Heaven!

Guess what, guys – these are better…

The cookies alone are ridiculous. Fudgy and chewy (and gluten free, since they have no flour at all), with a little bit of crunch from the chopped almonds. Then smush some creamy coconut gelato between them, and now you’ve taken things to a whole new level. I mean, chocolate, almond, and coconut is just such a perfect flavor combination (ahem, Almond Joy anyone?), and in my world, ice cream makes everything better!

I bought my gelato, but if you want to whip up your own, go for it. You could even use sorbet or make a coconut milk-based ice cream, and then these are complete dairy free!

What’s your favorite flavor of ice cream?
