Instructions

1. Step 1: Add the farmer cheese, almond butter, and maple syrup to a food processor and process until fully combined and smooth.
2. Step 2: Line a small rectangular container with parchment paper. Place 4 cookies in the container in a 2-by-2 arrangement to cover the bottom.
3. Step 3: Spread one quarter of the farmer cheese mixture evenly over each cookie (about 2 tablespoons each).

5. Step 5: Place the remaining 4 cookies on top of the prepared cookies and gently press down to seal the sandwiches.
6. Step 6: Freeze the container for 4 hours until set. Remove and let thaw for 10 minutes before serving. You can enjoy them whole or slice into smaller pieces.

Tips & Variations

• Use your favorite cinnamon-flavored cookies if Biscoff are unavailable for a similar taste.
• Try substituting almond butter with peanut or cashew butter for a different nutty flavor.
• If you prefer sweeter sandwiches, add a teaspoon of honey or extra maple syrup to the cheese mixture.
• For a vegan version, use a plant-based farmer cheese alternative and maple syrup.
• Freeze the sandwiches in individual portions using muffin liners for easy grab-and-go treats.

Storage

Store the ice cream sandwiches in the freezer in an airtight container for up to one week. When ready to eat, remove from the freezer and let thaw for about 10 minutes to soften slightly for easy slicing and a creamy texture.

FAQs

Can I make these without a food processor?

Yes, you can mix the farmer cheese, almond butter, and maple syrup thoroughly with a fork or whisk until smooth, though a food processor yields the creamiest texture.

Can I use other fruits besides strawberries?

Absolutely! Blueberries, raspberries, or thinly sliced peaches work well and add a fresh twist to these sandwiches.

Sandwich Components

• 8 Biscoff cookies or other cinnamon-flavored cookies

Instructions

1. Prepare Cheese Mixture: Add the farmer cheese, almond butter, and pure maple syrup to a food processor. Blend thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and has a smooth, creamy texture.

3. Assemble First Layer of Filling: Evenly spread a quarter of the cheese mixture (about 2 tablespoons) onto each cookie. Then, distribute a quarter of the sliced strawberries (approximately 2 tablespoons) over the cheese on each cookie.
4. Top with Remaining Cookies: Place the remaining four cookies on top of the prepared bottom layer with cheese and strawberries. Gently press down to seal the sandwich layers securely.
5. Freeze: Place the assembled container in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the sandwiches are fully set and firm.
6. Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the freezer and allow to thaw for about 10 minutes before enjoying. You may eat them whole or slice into smaller portions as desired.

Notes

• Use almond butter for a subtle nutty flavor; other nut butters can be used as alternatives.
• Farmer cheese should be fresh and well-drained for best creaminess.
• Substitute Biscoff cookies with any cinnamon-flavored cookies if preferred.
• Sliced strawberries add freshness; other fresh berries can be substituted.
• Thawing slightly before eating improves soft texture and flavors.
• Store leftovers covered in the freezer for up to one week.
