[In the kitchen] Sweet little treats



Our kids have food allergies - dairy, egg, nuts, to name a few. As a mom, it's hard to find a nice treat to give them when they've been extra sweet or well behaved on most days. We visited a local ice cream shop and they had these wonderful ice cream cookie sandwiches. Kasie and Sandro are allergic to dairy and eggs so having one of those were out of the question. Instead I made these tiny little soy ice cream sandwiches for them today. Smooth vanilla soy ice cream paired with crunchy dairy and egg free heart cookies. They were a big hit! That made me so happy they could enjoy something I enjoyed so much as a kid.

I bought all the ingredients at Whole Foods but you can find these brands at most local natural and organic markets as well.

Shopping List:


- So Delicious Dairy-free Frozen Dessert by Turtle Mountain, available at Whole Foods
- Sha Sha & Co. Cocoa Snaps, available at Whole Foods

Super Simple Directions:

- 2 Cocoa snaps for each mini sandwich

- tiny scoop of soy ice cream

- scoop soy ice cream on to the base cocoa snap and top off with second cocoa snap

- they have to be either eaten immediately or put in the freezer for later snacking

Enjoy!
