  Instructions

1. Prepare ice cream maker: The day before making the ice cream sandwiches, place an

   ice cream maker churning bowl inside the freezer. It should chill for 24 hours.

2. Prepare baking pan: When you’re ready to make the ice cream sandwiches, preheat

   the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x13-inch pan with parchment paper and lightly

   grease it with non-stick spray.

3. Prepare brownies: In a large bowl, add melted dairy-free butter, brown sugar, and

   vanilla extract. Whisk together until evenly combined. Then, add non-dairy milk and vanilla extract. Whisk together once more. Add flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to the bowl. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.

4. Bake brownies: Spread the brownie batter across the baking pan in a smooth, even layer. Bake for 18 minutes or until the edges begin to firm. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.

5. Prepare ice cream: In a blender, add full-fat coconut milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend for 2-3 minutes, until smooth and creamy. Remove the churning bowl from the freezer. Pour the blended ingredients into the ice cream maker. Churn according to the ice cream maker‘s instructions. It should produce a soft-serve consistency.

6. Assemble ice cream sandwiches: Once the brownies have cooled, carefully flip them onto a cutting board. Slice brownies down the center, creating two halves. Spread the ice cream on top of one brownie half Then, cover it with the other brownie half to create an ice cream sandwich. Immediately cover with the cling wrap and freeze for one hour.

7. Slice and decorate: Remove ice cream sandwiches from the freezer and slice into bars. If desired, dip the sides in sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, or crushed nuts. Enjoy!
