Method

Mix the Dough

To start, grab a large mixing bowl and combine the almond flour and jet black cocoa powder. Stir them together until the mixture looks evenly dark and smooth. Next, pour in the maple syrup and continue mixing until everything comes together into a thick, soft dough. The texture should be pliable and not too sticky kind of like cookie dough. Once it’s well mixed, divide the dough into two equal parts. One half will be used for the bottom of your sandwich, and the other half will go on top.

Press the Base

Take an 8×8-inch square dish and line it with parchment paper, making sure there’s enough paper hanging over the sides for easy lifting later. Place one half of your dough into the dish and press it down firmly with your fingers or a spatula. Try to make the layer as even and smooth as possible it will be the bottom of your sandwich, so it helps if it’s flat and level.

Add the Ice Cream

Before adding the ice cream, make sure it’s soft but not melted. If it’s too firm, blend it for a few seconds or leave it out on the counter for 5–10 minutes until it’s easy to spread. Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, gently spread the softened vanilla ice cream over the pressed dough layer. Take your time to spread it out smoothly and evenly, right up to the edges of the dish. The ice cream layer should be about the same thickness as the dough.

Add the Top Layer

Now you have two choices for placing the top dough layer. Option 1 is to place the dish in the freezer for about 30–45 minutes to firm up the ice cream. Once it’s set, gently press the second half of the dough directly over the ice cream, smoothing it out carefully. Option 2 is a little trickier but saves time: roll the second half of the dough between two sheets of parchment paper until it’s about the size of the dish. Then, carefully lift the parchment paper and flip the rolled dough on top of the soft ice cream layer. Press down very gently to make sure it sticks, but be careful not to smush the ice cream layer underneath.

Freeze It All

Once both layers are assembled, cover the dish and place it in the freezer for at least 5 hours, or until the entire dessert is completely firm. This part takes some patience, but it’s totally worth it. Don’t try to cut the sandwiches too early, or they’ll be too soft to hold their shape.

Slice and Enjoy

After the freezing time is up, lift the entire block out of the dish using the parchment paper handles. Place it on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut the dessert into 9 equal squares. The result? Perfectly layered OREO style ice-cream sandwiches that are cold, creamy, and ready to impress. Enjoy them immediately or keep them stored in the freezer for a cool treat anytime!
