Hello there, fellow dessert enthusiasts! Today, I'm sharing a recipe that's as close to heaven as you can get without actually needing wings – Coconut Yogurt Ice Cream Sandwiches. These aren't your average ice cream sandwiches, oh no. We're talking about a delightful symphony of flavors and textures, starting with perfectly chewy coconut cookies that aren't too sweet, and perfectly complimenting the creamy, dreamy coconut yogurt ice cream filling. It's a taste of paradise you'll crave all year around. I initially got the inspiration for this recipe last summer, during a really hot spell. I needed something quick, easy, and refreshing. That's where my kitchen experiments started.
It all started with a simple coconut cookie recipe; the one I had been using for ages. The initial results were kinda disappointing, but I’m stubborn (I know, my friends say the same). Over several failed attempts, the cookies turned out perfectly. I perfected the ice cream by tweaking the sweetness, and finally, I had my ideal creation: a sweet, refreshing, and slightly tropical treat. Each bite is pure bliss—the slight chewiness of the coconut cookie gives way to the smooth, cool creaminess of the ice cream. There's a delicate balance of sweetness and coconut flavor that's simply irresistible. I even had one of my friends try it, and they totally loved it – I know, I'm already bragging!
Seriously, guys, you need to make these. Trust me on this. These Coconut Yogurt Ice Cream Sandwiches are the perfect treat for a hot summer day, a cozy night in, or any moment when you need a little pick-me-up. They’re easy enough for a beginner baker, impressive enough to serve to guests, and delicious enough to become your new favorite dessert. So grab your aprons, and let's get baking (and churning)! The steps are pretty straight forward. Let me know your experience, below!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First, let's tackle the cookies! Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This is essential, otherwise your cookies will stick!
- Next, in a mixing bowl, cream together the coconut oil and sugar until light and fluffy. This might take a minute or two, so don't rush it. The fluffier it is, the better your cookies will turn out!
- Now, beat in the egg until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is nicely incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Don't overmix—we don't want tough cookies!
- Spoon rounded tablespoons of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. These cookies will spread a bit.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before moving on.
- Now, for the delightful ice cream! In your ice cream maker, combine the coconut yogurt, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Make sure everything is thoroughly mixed.
- Churn the mixture according to your ice cream maker's instructions. It should take around 20-30 minutes for a creamy texture.
- Once the ice cream is churned, transfer it to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours to allow it to harden completely. This allows the ice cream to fully set.
- Finally, assemble your dreamy ice cream sandwiches! Once the ice cream is firm, scoop a generous amount onto one cookie. Top with another cookie to make a sandwich.
- Wrap each ice cream sandwich individually in parchment paper or place them in an airtight container. Freeze for at least another 30 minutes to allow the ice cream to solidify and the sandwich to set. Patience, young padawan!
- Serve immediately for ultimate enjoyment, or keep frozen until you're ready to indulge!
📝 Notes
- Make sure your coconut oil is softened, not melted, before you start creaming it with the sugar.
- If your ice cream is too soft when you assemble the sandwiches, pop them back in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
- Feel free to get creative with your mix-ins! Chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or even a swirl of caramel would be delicious additions to the ice cream filling. Don’t be shy!
