Gluten Free Ice Cream Sandwiches
Gluten Free Ice Cream Sandwiches are easy to make at home. Just bake the chocolate sandwich wafers and fill with your favorite ice cream!
I just came across a food blog that did something interesting. It classified all of its recipes by special diet. Whole 30, gluten free, vegan, and so on. Cool idea!
I like to think that I am a good enough cook to be able to deal with any special need. Well, don’t ask me to do Whole 30 and Vegan at the same time, but anything else.
Gluten free is a special diet that comes up a lot. So a few years ago, I went on a chickpea flour baking binge. I had loads of fun making things like gluten free chocolate chip cookies and gluten free molasses cookies. You couldn’t tell them from the originals—mmm!
Now chickpea flour is a nutritional powerhouse and it has another big advantage over other gluten free substitutes. It can work without the addition of binders like xanthan gum. And it’s a lot less expensive than buying a pre-mixed blend. Count me in!
There is one caveat when working with chickpea flour. Never Ever taste before cooking. No you won’t get salmonella, but the bean-y flavor starts really intense, then goes away after baking. I don’t know what happens in the oven, but if you try beforehand, you may want to chuck the whole thing in the trash. This is your only warning.
These Gluten Free Ice Cream Sandwiches are almost identical to my regular homemade ice cream sandwiches and I encourage you to check that post out for the detailed pictures of the rolling, cutting etc. (Or if you simply want a version that uses all-purpose flour.)
The only unique process tip I have (which I’ll repeat in the recipe) is to roll the dough between parchment paper and move it in and out of the freezer as needed (whenever it gets hard to work with). Chickpea flour makes a sticky dough! On the plus side, the pliability meant the wafer avoided the slight curl that afflicted my wheat flour version (shhh).
Summer treats for all!
Gluten Free Ice Cream Sandwiches are easy to make at home. Just bake the chocolate sandwich wafers and fill with your favorite ice cream! This is a very sticky dough. As you roll, feel free to pop the dough and parchment into the freezer for a quick chill "booster" if needed.

These look so delicious! The cookies look so chocolaty and I love the chocolate mint combination of flavors.
I was once on a chickpea flour, spirulina, and flaxseed cooking binge for a while too. It might be a good idea to reintroduce them into some of my cooking again. This ice cream sandwich looks delicious!! I know someone who is a celiac and this ice cream would be perfect treat to make for her!
That’s awesome that you made your own gluten free cookies for this! They look perfect.
I use chickpea flour a lot but never thought of making ice cream sandwiches with it. Totally love the idea!
Cedar Crest Ice Cream is the best! I love the idea of making these at home!
As you know, I don’t need to be GF but do love cooking/baking with chickpea flour, so I will give this a try. And I adore ice cream sandwiches!!
Now, I have to wonder if your special diets food blog has a no-garlic section! 🙂
I always roll out dough between wax or parchment paper. I’m terrible at rolling things out otherwise! These sound wonderful!
Do you also roll it out using chickpea flour to keep it gluten free or do you use rice or another type of flour?
I use the chickpea flour to roll out also. That way I only stock one type of gluten free flour(since I eat gluten and use it cooking for friends).
I should note that rolling between parchment and moving briefly to the freezer is a big help with the stickiness too!
Thanks for the info on chick pea flour. My niece and great niece are gluten intolerant and now I have a solution when baking for them.
If you ever want a cookbook, Wendy, I like The Chickpea Flour Cookbook by Camilla Saulsbury…
