Equipment

  • Stand mixer or hand mixer
  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing bowls
  • Saucepan
  • measuring tools
  • Ice cream churner (optional)

Ingredients
  

Ice Cream Base:

  • 2 Eggs separated
  • 11.8 oz 350 ml Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tablespoons Allulose or Xylitol

Cookie Dough:

  • 3 oz 100 g Whey Protein Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Cream of Tartar
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon Glycine
  • 7 oz 200 g Ricotta Cheese
  • 2 oz 70 g Butter softened
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg optional
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Beef Gelatin Powder

Instructions
 

Prepare Ice Cream:

  • Separate the eggs, whisking yolks until light and fluffy.
  • Heat the cream, sweetener, and vanilla in a saucepan over medium heat until it thickens slightly, stirring constantly.
  • Slowly combine the heated mixture with the yolks, then return to the saucepan and cook on low until thickened further. Do not boil.
  • Let the mixture cool for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  • Fold the cooled mixture into the egg whites.
  • Freeze the mixture in a container, stirring every 1-2 hours until fully set, or use an ice cream churner for a smoother texture.

Prepare Cookies:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Mix all dry ingredients (whey protein, cream of tartar, baking soda, glycine, baking powder, and optional spices) in a bowl.
  • In another bowl, beat ricotta and butter until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Gradually fold in the dry ingredients, incorporating fully.
  • Scoop the dough onto prepared baking sheets, forming cookies of equal size.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Cool completely on a wire rack.

Assemble Ice Cream Cookies:

  • Spread a layer of ice cream onto one cookie.
  • Top with a second cookie to form a sandwich.
  • Wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
