- Make cookie dough balls by mixing all ingredients together. Can you peanut butter instead of cashew for pb cookie dough. Refrigerate dough for 15+ min then roll into balls and keep refrigerated until using
- Process cookies (I used a whole box of simple mills sandwich cookies), then add melted butter and process again
- Press down into an 8x8 pan lined with parchment paper
- Set in the freezer
- Process or use a hand mixer to combined sour cream and cream cheese. Add remaining ingredients and mix again until smooth and silky
- Mix in half the cookie dough balls
- Pour overtop cookie base, then top with more cookie dough balls
- Freeze for 3+ hours, then slice and enjoy!!
Notes
Can use dairy free subs for any of the dairy items can omit chocolate protein powder for more cacao powder the first time I made this I used sour cream, but I've been replacing it for cottage cheese (blended until smooth) in multiple recipes and it's worked great! It would be a great higher protein option here!
