Serves 6 – 8 Ice Cream Sandwiches
INGREDIENTS
| FOR THE ANZAC COOKIES |
| 1 cup Organic spelt flour |
| 1 cup Organic desiccated coconut |
| 1 cup Organic rolled oats |
| 3/4 cup Organic coconut sugar |
| 125 g OWN Organic EV coconut oil |
| 2 tbsp Pureharvest Rice Malt Syrup |
| 1/2 tsp bicarb soda |
| 3-4 tbsp boiling water |
| FOR THE ICE CREAM |
| 1 tub of your favourite flavour of Cocofrio (to keep the recipe vegan choose your favourite vegan flavour ice cream, we have heaps to choose from at Flannerys Organic & Wholefood Market) |
METHOD
1. For the biscuits: Preheat oven to 180oC. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper. Place the flour, coconut, rolled oats and coconut sugar in a large bowl and stir with a wooden spoon to combine.
2. Place the coconut oil and rice malt syrup in a small saucepan over low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 mins or until melted. Set aside for 5 mins to cool slightly
3. Combine 1 1/2 tbsp boiling water and the bicarbonate of soda in a small bowl. Add to the oat mixture along with the coconut oil mixture. Stir until well combined. If the mixture is a little crumbly at this point add 1-2 tbsp of hot water, just enough so you can bring the mixture into balls. It is a crumbly mixture by nature so be patient and don’t add too much water as it will mean the biscuits don’t come out crispy at the end.
4. Roll tablespoon of the mixture into balls and place on the lined trays, allowing space for spreading. Gently press each ball to flatten slightly. Bake for 12 mins for crisp biscuits. Set aside on the trays to cool completely. The biscuits will harden as they cool.
5. To assemble the ice cream sandwiches: Take two biscuits. Place one biscuit onto a plate, put a large scoop of ice cream on top of the biscuit. Take the second biscuit and place on top of the ice cream. Firmly press down to ensure the ice cream is firmly in place.
6. Now, the only thing left to do is tuck in!
