Ingredients
Scale
Cheese Mixture
- 1/3 – 1/2 cup Farmer Cheese
- 2 tbsp almond butter
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
Sandwich Components
- 8 Biscoff cookies or other cinnamon-flavored cookies
- 1/3 – 1/2 cup sliced strawberries
Instructions
- 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.
- Line Container and Arrange Cookies: Line a small rectangular container with parchment paper, pressing it down flat. Place four cookies in the container, arranging two cookies side by side in one row and two directly beneath them, filling the bottom layer evenly.
- 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.
- 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.
- Freeze: Place the assembled container in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the sandwiches are fully set and firm.
- 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.
