What could be a better pairing than ice cream and cookie? Cornflakes! You get a wonderful crunch that pairs beautifully with the soft cookie and ice cream.
An ice cream cookie sandwich is great. But a vegan ice cream sandwich? Even better. It uses only your average household ingredients without the need to buy specialised “vegan ingredients”.
This recipe was developed for Kāpiti as part of their vegan dessert range. But vegan or not, you can fill these delicious morsels with your favourite ice cream flavour. Or you can simply make the cornflake cookies on its own.
If you’re not a stickler for vegan cookies, give this chewy cookie recipe a go. Or if you’re adventurous, try the trending mochi cookie recipe or potato chip compost cookie. I love every single one of these recipes and they have been requested multiple times by my friends and family.
If you make the cookies, I’d love to showcase your creations. Tag @ultimateomnoms so I can give you a shoutout on Instagram!
