The Whole Foodie

I scream for ice-cream sandwich

These coffee and ice cream cookies will fabulise your life. Your vegan friends and your taste buds are going to freak out.

Instead of butter, this recipe uses extra-gorgeous olive oil. In place of eggs, I have enlisted the help of milled chia seed. And because I’m a wholefood whore, I have replaced boring white flour with wholemeal spelt flour. A mixture of half oat flour and half spelt is also wickedly good. And I do like being wicked here at Healthy HQ.

Nigella Lawson uses instant coffee to boost the intensity of her chocolate recipes.

Olive oil does the same, in my opinion, adding a ravishing depth to pitch-dark chocolate. Blending all three together in the same recipe results in a form of pyrotechnics for the brain.

Try it and see.
