Ingredients
Cookie dough
- 1/2 cup of your favorite protein powder *don't use collagen. I used plant-based protein.
- 1 cup almond flour *can use Tiger nut flour for nut-free
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1/4 cup almond or cashew butter *use granola butter or sunflower butter for nut-free
- vanilla extract & pinch of sea salt
- 3-4 tbsp milk, of choice, as needed
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or avocado oil, butter, etc.
- 1 tsp sea salt
- handful of chocolate chips
"ice cream" filling
- 3/4 tub so delicious coconut whip (or similar whipped topping) *I just eyeball it and save the rest for dipping fruit in, etc!
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 scoops of your favorite protein powder
Instructions
- Mix all of the cookie dough ingredients in a bowl until it forms a soft dough. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Press half the dough into the bottom—this is your cookie base. Remove the parchment paper from the pan and place this layer in the freezer. Add another piece of parchment paper to the loaf pan and press the remaining cookie dough into the bottom.
- Gently fold your protein powder into the coconut whipped topping. Spread the protein “ice cream” over your cookie base, then remove the other layer of dough and press it on top. Freeze for 4 hours-overnight, until everything’s nice and firm.
- Slice, & Serve. Remove from the freezer, let it sit for a couple minutes to soften slightly, then slice into sandwich squares. Store extras in the freezer—if you have any left! ;)

Notes
Protein powder: You can use your favorite protein powder in whatever flavor! I like to stick to a vanilla, cookie dough, or salted caramel flavor. My favorite is Macro Mike. It adds some sweetness & natural flavor to the recipe that is chef's kiss! You can use my code "amb-dani" for a discount!
