INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In a medium sized bowl, cream together your coconut sugar and Earth Balance.
  2. Add in your egg, flour, and cacao powder. Mix until it makes a nice, crumbly batter.
  3. Use your hands to form the batter into a ball, cover, and refrigerate for 45 – 60 min.
  4. While the batter is chilling, blend together your green tea ice cream ingredients in a blender or food processor until very smooth.
  5. Transfer the ice cream to a container, cover and allow it to chill in the freezer until you are ready to serve.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350.
  7. Once the batter is done cooling, transfer it to a greased sheet of parchment or wax paper and roll it out thin and flat. (The thinner you roll them, the crispier it is.)
  8. Use a cookie cutter or a cup or even a jar lid to cut out desired cookie shape.
  9. Transfer your cut cookies to a greased baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
  10. Allow to completely cool on baking tray.
  11. While the cookies are cooling, blend together your cream filling ingredients in a blender or just with a whisk.
  12. Once it is well combined and smooth, allow it to chill in the refrigerator for 20ish minutes.
  13. When you are ready to assemble, scoop out your green tea ice cream into a bowl, spread cream filling in between two chocolate cookies, sandwich them together, and top your sundae with the cookies and optional honey drizzle. (Or even whipped cream.)
  14. EAT UP.
