    Cookies ‘n Ice Cream Bon Bons

    By Alisa Fleming on June 21, 2016 Alisa's Favorite Dairy-Free Recipes, Dairy Free Desserts, Dairy-Free Recipes

    I love dairy-free ice cream, but cookies and chocolate take it to another level. Don’t you agree? For that extra something special, I enjoy making these cookies ‘n ice cream bon bons. They’re easy, fun, and also have that wonderful “two-bite” sizing. Sometimes I enjoy just one for a sweet hit, but on movie nights I like to savor several as a full dessert.

    Cookies 'n Ice Cream Bon Bons Recipe - easy, fun, delicious, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan & allergy-friendly!

    I roll these Ice Cream Bon Bons in crunchy cookies and then coat them in a generous layer of semi-sweet chocolate for a seriously epic treat. You can choose your favorite dairy-free ice cream for the filling and whatever crunchy cookie variety suit your mood. Here, I used Coconut Milk Vanilla and Creamy Cashew Milk frozen desserts for the ice cream. For rolling, I used Enjoy Life’s Double Chocolate Crunchy Cookies, because too much chocolate is never an issue.

    All You Need to Make Cookies 'n Ice Cream Bon Bons Recipe - easy, fun, delicious, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan & allergy-friendly!

    Rolling these ice cream bon bons in cookies not only adds a delicious crunchy layer, it also makes them much easier to shape and coat than plain scoops of ice cream. I just love it when an idea adds not only indulgence, but also functionality.

    Special Diet Notes: Cookies ‘n Ice Cream Bon Bons

    By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, gluten-free, nut-free, peanut-free, soy-free, vegan / plant-based, and vegetarian. Nonetheless, it the free-from aspects do depend on the ingredients you use.

    For top allergen-free, I make these ice cream bon bons with Enjoy Life Crunchy Cookies and Mini Chocolate Chips and So Delicious Coconut Milk Ice Cream. However, since we aren’t allergic to nuts in our household, I do like to make them with Cashew Milk Ice Cream, sometimes, too!

    Please note that the prep time does not include chilling and resting. Nonetheless, if you like your ice cream bon bons a little melty in the middle, you may be able to get away with powering through the recipe and eating these bites right away.
    Author: Alisa Fleming
    Serves: About 18 large or 36 small ice cream bon bons
    Ingredients
    • 1 pint dairy-free ice cream of choice (I use So Delicious Vanilla Coconut Milk or Cashew Milk Frozen Dessert)
    • 1¼ to 1½ cups crushed cookies (I use 1 box Enjoy Life Double Chocolate Crunchy Cookies)
    • 1 10-ounce package dairy-free chocolate chips (I use Enjoy Life Mini Chocolate Chips)
    • 1½ tablespoons coconut oil or soy-free, non-hydrogenated shortening
    Instructions
    1. Let the ice cream soften on the counter for about 10 minutes while you crush the cookies. I place them in a zip-top baggie and smash with a mallet (very therapeutic) but a food processor works, too. Place the crushed cookies in a bowl.
    2. Scoop the ice cream by the tablespoon (for big ice cream bon bons) or ½ tablespoon (for small bon bons). As you scoop, drop each into the crushed cookies and roll to coat, shaping if desired. Place the coated ice cream on a small baking sheet or plate lined with wax paper or parchment paper (something that will fit in your freezer). Let them chill for 1 hour or longer to refreeze.
    3. Melt the chocolate chips with the oil or shortening, and then let cool to just above room temperature.
    4. You can use your preferred method to coat the bon bons, but what I like to do is dip the bottoms in the chocolate, hold for a few seconds, then place them on a fork. Use a spoon to drizzle the chocolate over the top while holding over the chocolate bowl. Gently nudge the bon bon back onto the wax or parchment paper (I place them back in the freezer in batches). The chocolate will set up quickly. Enjoy right away (the middles will be soft) or re-freeze for 1 hour or more.

        Definitely yummy, but also functional! I tried with and without the cookies – SO much easier with the cookies!

      Absolutely have to make these for my bf! Only problem is finding glutenfree cookies that are cornfree too here, since he’s sensitive to corn too *le sigh* But if I do, I’m making these right away! Love easy, quick and tasty recipe!

        The ones I used are corn-free – https://enjoylifefoods.com/faqs/ – but you can always use homemade, too!

      I’m seriously drooling Alisa. These look SO good! I’m working on a bite sized desserts right now and it’s scary how many you can eat before realizing it. I’d devour every single one of these way before I could photo them!!

      These are so cute and easy! And I’m sure it’s very easy to two-bite your way through quite a lot of them 🙂 They remind me of those little dibs things, but better because they have creamy cashew ice cream center–my favorite ice cream!

      • Alisa Fleming on June 23, 2016 8:10 am

        Yes, the cashew ice cream is almost a must for me, but the coconut milk is great, too!

        Exactly! If there is one thing I’ve learned, it’s that desserts speak a universal language that know no special diet boundaries – okay, there are limits, but they’re way out there 🙂
