Coconut and Mango Froyo Cookie Sandwiches [Vegan]

This is one fabulously exotic treat. I used plain soya yogurt for the ‘ice cream,’ it’s just a bit healthier and adds tang to complement the sweetness of the mango.

For the Cookies:

  • 1/2 heaped cup  shredded (desiccated) coconut
  • 1/2 cup, plus 1 tablespoon spelt flour

How to Prepare Coconut and Mango Froyo Cookie Sandwiches [Vegan]

For the Cookies:

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees C (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet (tray) with baking parchment.
  2. Combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. In a separate, smaller bowl, combine the vanilla paste and melted coconut oil.
  3. Fold the coconut oil into the dry ingredients, operating quite quickly because as soon as the coconut oil comes in contact with the cooler ingredients, it will begin to solidify. Mix with your hands to obtain an even dough.
  4. Roll walnut-sized balls in the palm of your hands. Place each one onto the lined baking tray (sheet) and flatten. Repeat this process until the dough is exhausted.
  5. Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crisp.
  6. Cool on a wire rack. The cookies will only be firm if you let them cool completely before handling, so do not be tempted to eat one straight out of the oven — it will crumble in your hand!

For the Mango Ice Froyo:

  1. Blend half of the mango chunks, the palm sugar and yogurt in a food processor or high-speed blender until silky smooth. Add the rest of the mango chunks and blend again.
  2. This mixture should now be quite smooth and reasonably firm. Spread onto half of the cookies and sandwich the remaining cookies on top. If you find the froyo is not quite solid enough, freeze the froyo for half an hour before spreading onto the cookies.
  3. Either enjoy the cookies straight away or keep them in the freezer. If the latter, remember to defrost them for at least half an hour to an hour before enjoying.
