No baking, no churning, no spoon required for this easy dessert recipe–these vegan and paleo cookie dough ice cream sandwiches are a healthy summer treat!

Cookie dough. Baking cookies, waiting for them too cool, making the ice cream, and then having to scoop and smush each one individually sounded like a lot more effort than I cared to exert for my ice cream dessert-ing. So I simplified and streamlined the process.

Ice cream. Now you could sandwich any kind of vanilla ice cream between those two layers of chocolate chip dough. I personally created a nice cream + coconut milk ice cream hybrid for the filling because it’s the perfect balance of creamy and fruity-sweet.
