Ingredients
- 4 vanilla cream sandwich cookies
- 4 plain vanilla cookies (like Lorna Doones, vanilla wafers, or 4 cookie only rounds from the sandwich cookies – remove the cream)
- 1⁄3 cup freeze dried strawberries
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 cup (or more!) of your favorite vanilla ice cream
Directions
Process the Cookies:
- Using a small mini food processor, process the sandwich cookies and the plain cookies until they form small crumbs. Avoid crushing them into a fine powder; you want small pieces. If you have any large crumbs left, you can mash them with the back of a spoon to make them uniform.
- If you don’t have a food processor, place the cookies in a plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush them evenly.
Process the Strawberries:
- Place the freeze-dried strawberries in the food processor and pulverize them into a powder.
Combine with Butter:
- Add the melted vegan butter to the cookie crumbs and mix to combine. Set aside 1/3 of the crumb mixture in a separate bowl and add the strawberry powder to it to create strawberry crumbs.
Layer the Crumbs:
- Spread the vanilla crumbs onto a piece of wax paper. Then, using a spoon, drop sections of strawberry crumbs on top.
Form Ice Cream Balls:
- Using a small ice cream scoop or spoon, form balls of ice cream. If they become too soft, return them to the freezer to harden for a few minutes. Roll the ice cream balls in the crumb mixture evenly, then return them to the freezer to harden.
Store and Enjoy:
- Store leftover bites in a sealed bag or container and enjoy!
