Double Chocolate Ice-Cream Sandwich Biscuits
It has been a little quiet around here lately – I have been working hard on some new projects and can’t WAIT to share some awesome new things with you all!! It all got a bit too much the other day, so I made these biscuits. These are some pretty awesome biscuits, delicious day fixers in fact! You are welcome to enjoy them straight up, but if you need next level excitement (and let’s face it, who doesn’t?) then you can sandwich them around a cheeky layer of ice-cream. So if you’re having a day when you can’t decide if the moment your drink bottle exploded over the inside of your bag, or noticing the dribbled toothpaste on your shirt half way through the day was the greatest moment, make these. And then eat them!
I have made them gluten free, and they are easily adaptable to dairy free and egg free if needed.
