Chris and I each ate 1 because we're animals so we had 8 left, enough for 4 sandwiches (which was probably better because who wants an odd number of sandwiches that you're probably going to have to cut in half and split with the other person?). The recipe makes about 10 medium-ish cookies. I made a simple gluten-free, double chocolate chip cookie that ended up being the perfect cookies for ice cream sandwiches because a.) they are firm enough to not get soggy from the ice cream, and b.) they are soft enough that even when totally frozen, you can bite into the sandwich without breaking your teeth or anything (You can get a nice normal bite, even when it's at it's firmest), c.) they come together really quickly (ideal for when you need ice cream sandwiches, pronto) and you would never guess that they're gluten-free, and d.) they're chocolate. I have to say that this little taste test was one of the greatest moments of my life (I'm totally exaggerating to make a point, but still, it was great.).īecause I hadn't had an ice cream sandwich since I did all the testing for my book (there's Oatmeal Raisin Ice Cream Sandwiches in there, just FYI), I decided I needed to make some happen. I even liked it more than the Double Chocolate Truffle which I was positive was going to be my favorite because of what a chocoholic I am. It has swirls of salted caramel and chunks of chocolate-covered cashews, mixed throughout and it's the richest, most decadent, most layered ice cream I've ever had. And then, my most favorite: The Salted Caramel Cluster flavor. There's a Snickerdoodle flavor that kind of blew my mind in that it tastes just like a snickerdoodle cookie and also has bits of gluten-free snickerdoodle cookie dough throughout. With it's little shards of crisp chocolate throughout, this chocolate ice cream kicks all the other chocolate ice cream's butts. There's a Double Chocolate Truffle that is basically the business. There's a Cappucino flavor that I liked even though I don't tend to like coffee-flavored ice creams. There's a subtle, rich Cashew Cream flavor which was as simple as it was delicious.

That weekend, I was able to dig into the wonderous cashew milk ice creams. I jumped up and grabbed my package and apologized for the confusion. And it says 'ice cream' on it, so.' Then I remembered. The assistant looked confused and she said 'No, I mean, like, your name is on the package. I was just wondering if it would kill Work to sometimes consider their employees with eating restrictions when they decide to treat everyone to ice cream.).

I don't eat dairy,' I said in what I'm sure was a smug-ass tone (though I wasn't trying to sound that way, I swear. On the day of slated delivery, one of the office assistants came to my office and asked 'Did you get your ice cream?' She was holding a box and for some reason, I assumed that my Work had gotten everyone ice cream and she was offering me my share.

And then I would have to find room in my office freezer to stash it until it was time to go home, but I was down for the challenge. I was nervous about getting this package of ice cream because I had to be there to receive it which means I would have to have it sent to my office.

I guess you just have to put your hopes and dreams out there into the universe in order for them to come to fruition. Recently, a blogger friend of mine was telling me about the amazing cashew milk ice creams she was sent from So Delicious and I was like 'Man, I wish they would send stuff to me.' And then, a few days later, I got an email from So Delicious offering me just that. On the 'Big Deal' scale of 1 to 10, I'd put my wanting to be sent So Delicious products to try at about a 1.25. I mean, it wasn't that big of a deal at all. This moment lasts for about 2 seconds before I go back to not really caring and being happy that I'm learning about these cool products through my friends.įor years, I've secretly kind of wanted to be one of the bloggers that So Delicious reaches out to and sends their awesome stuff to try. For a moment, I feel a little less cool and a little less popular. However, when certain brands that I love don't contact me but I see that my blogger friends were sent their products to try, I will admit: I get a teensy bit jealous. I get to try a lot of really great products at no cost to me and it is one of the really cool perks of being a blogger. As a blogger, I'm very fortunate to be contacted by brands who want me to try their products.
