A Perfect Low-Carb Dessert That’s as Beautiful as It Is Delicious
When summer heat hits, nothing feels better than a creamy, cool treat. But if you're on a keto diet, traditional ice cream sandwiches are off-limits—until now. This Keto Ice Cream Sandwich, made with homemade almond flour cookies and rich, sugar-free ice cream, is not only delicious but also keeps your carbs in check.
🍪 Why Almond Flour Cookies?
Almond flour is a keto superstar—low in carbs, high in healthy fats, and gives a naturally nutty flavor and satisfying crunch. When baked into cookies, they’re sturdy enough to hold a scoop of ice cream without falling apart, yet soft enough to bite through easily.
