"Healthy" Ice Cream Sandwiches


And after a long absence I'm back with a dessert. A "healthy" dessert. 

It's basically an ice cream sandwich, but homemade and "healthy".



I took major inspiration here.


For this you will need:

4 tbsp vegetable oil (or coconut oil or butter)
3 tbsp honey
2 tbsp buckwheat flour
2 tbsp milk (I used almond milk, but you can use regular milk or hazelnut milk ...)
70 gr oats
2 tsp freshly chopped ginger
a pinch of salt
a splash of vanilla extract



First you should pre-heat your oven to 180°C.
Then stir together all the ingredients.
Make then (about) 12 balls and place them on parchment paper.
Make sure to leave enough space between them, cause you'll have to flatten them out before putting them into the oven.
Once your oven is heated, place your cookies in the oven and bake for about 15 to 18 minutes. 
When they get darker at the edges it's time to take them out.
If you want to make ice cream sandwiches, let the cookies cool down a bit.
Once cooled, fill them with your favourite ice cream (mine is milk ice cream, also known as fior di latte gelato). 
And for more indulgence, serve with some melted dark chocolate.
Still "healthy" but super tasty dessert. 
Make it as soon as you can, because once you've made them you're addicted to them.

Chocolate Christmas Cookies


So today I have an Italian recipe for you.
I'm making chocolate christmas cookies. 


They are full of chocolate, they are rich and they are christmassy because of the icing sugar.
I've taken a lot of inspiration here and here.


Without further doing, here is the recipe.
You will need:


  • 125 gr of dark chocolate
  • 105 gr of flour
  • 55 gr of regular sugar
  • 27 gr of butter
  • 1 egg
  • a 'pinch' of baking powder
  • a pinch of salt
  • some icing sugar to turn this chocolate cookies into christmas chocolate cookies

Melt the dark chocolate, once it has melted add the butter.

Sieve the flour put it an a bowl and add the baking powder and the salt as well.

In an other bowl put the egg and the sugar together and whisk until you get an 'aery' consistency.

So now we just have to assemble it.

Add the egg mixture to the chocolate and add then the flour mixture.

Let it cool down for an hour into the fridge.

During the rest time, put some icing sugar on a plate.

After the resting time, make some balls and pass it into the sugar (don't forget to preheat the oven to 170°)

Put them on a baking sheet.

Once the oven is preheated place the baking tray in the oven and let it bake for about 10 minutes.

And voilà you have the perfect and easiest chocolate christmas cookies!



Ps. Next time I will try to make them bigger.
