Summer and ice cream sandwiches go hand in hand. Who doesn't love a large dollop of cool, creamy goodness pressed between two crunchy cookies? Well, those allergic to gluten might be raising their hands right about now. Never fear.

Thanks to blogger Picky Gourmet (a.k.a Callie Anne, who is studying to be a chef in L.A.) we bring you an exotic ice cream sandwich that even the gluten-intolerant can enjoy. Picky Gourmet discovered Glow's Gluten-free cookies and writes: "They are not bland, or sandy or dry or earthy, or stick-in-your-teethy or off in any way whatsoever."

Glow cookies come in four flavors: Snickerdoodle, Chocolate Chip, Double Chocolate Chip and Gingersnap. Picky Gourmet chose Gingersnap and shared her delicious recipe for Mango Curry Ice Cream, made with fresh mangoes and yellow curry, here (scroll down past the cookies). Enjoy!

Coolhaus, Los Angeles - Ask a Shopkeeper

Natasha Case has worked in some of L.A.'s most prestigious architecture and design offices. She's also been a Walt Disney Imagineer. Fortunately for SoCal foodies, Natasha has traded in her drafting boards and graphing paper for baking sheets and ice-cream makers. She and her business partner, Freya Estreller, are the two "Principal Farchitects" for Coolhaus -- a pimped-out, find-us-on-Twitter truck that offers a variety of architecturally-inspired ice-cream sandwiches. Their menu is full of treats with names that are puns on terms from the world of design -- you can order the Frank Behry, strawberry ice cream pressed between two sugar cookies, for example.

We caught up with Natasha to get the lowdown on Coolhaus and the future of Farchitecture.

Feast Your Eyes: Homemade ice cream sandwiches

homemade ice cream sandwiches rimmed with sprinkles
Looking for a good food project to tackle this weekend? Why not try making a batch of homemade ice cream sandwiches? Erin (of Erin Cooks) has a special press, which helped make these look as perfect as they do, but you can get similar (although your ice cream may not go all the way out to the edges) results with a small ice cream scoop and large cookie cutters.

Erin, thanks so much for adding your image to the Slashfood Flickr pool.

17 Ice Cream Cupcake Recipes

Ice cream cupcakes
In early May, I told you about the ice cream cupcake roundup that I was co-hosting on Cupcake Project with Scoopalicious. The results from the roundup are in! There are 17 ice cream cupcake recipes to choose from. Everyone tackled the ice cream cupcakes in different ways. Some participants put the ice cream in the center of the cupcake and made essentially an ice cream cupcake sandwich, others put the ice cream on top and covered it with frosting, and some skipped the frosting altogether and just topped their cupcakes with a heaping scoop of ice cream.

It was also interesting to see the creativity surrounding the cupcake wrappers. While most used normal cupcake liners, some baked their ice cream cupcakes in ice cream cones, bakeable espresso cups, and waffle bowls.

We also had both dairy-free and gluten-free entries, so don't let your dietary restrictions stop you from getting in on the ice cream cupcake action.

Check out all the entires on Cupcake Project and Scoopalicious. If you try making your own, be sure to post a picture in our Slashfood flickr group so we can all see it!
