What makes these cookies gluten-free and no-bake?

The cookies are made from a blend of dates, raw almonds, oats, shredded coconut, flaxseed, and coconut oil, processed and rolled thinly without baking.

How do I achieve the vibrant green color in the ice cream?

The vibrant green color comes from the matcha powder blended with frozen bananas, avocado, coconut cream, and vanilla protein powder.

What's the best way to assemble the ice cream sandwiches?

After hardening the cookies in the freezer, gently break them apart, smooth the blended ice cream onto half of them, and top with another cookie before freezing again.

Why do I need to let the sandwiches soften before eating?

Allowing the finished ice cream sandwiches to sit on the counter for 5-6 minutes before eating helps them soften to a more enjoyable texture.

How long can I store these Matcha Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwiches?

For optimal freshness and texture, store the fully assembled ice cream sandwiches in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2-3 weeks.
