Get ready to elevate your dessert game with these vibrant, hemp-packed waffle ice cream sandwiches! Soft, gluten‑free waffles infused with Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts cradle a creamy vegan ice cream center—then the sides are rolled in colorful “hemp sprinkle” blends (think beet, blue spirulina, turmeric) for a playful and nutritious twist. Dairy‑free, and gluten‑friendly, these sandwiches are as fun to make as they are to eat. Perfect for summer parties, family snacks, or a feel‑good treat any time you want sweet, wholesome indulgence.
