Health and fertility benefits of Double Chocolate Sorbet Sandwiches

Nuts are a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity. Walnuts are low on the glycemic index. What’s more, they also lower the glycemic index of other foods that you eat in conjunction with these nuts. Any kind of nuts provide a healthy source of fat and a great way to encourage PCOS weight loss.

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3/4 cup Dutch process cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped into chunks
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts
4 large egg whites, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 3/4 cups (about 2 pints) sorbet or gelato (we recommend coconut, hazelnut, or pistachio)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 °. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, cocoa, and salt. Stir in chocolate and walnuts. Add egg whites and vanilla; stir just until incorporated (don't over-mix).
Drop dough by the tablespoon, 2 inches apart, onto three parchment-lined rimmed baking sheets. Bake until cookie tops are crackled but still slightly moist (15-18 minutes), rotating sheets halfway through. Transfer sheets to wire racks; let cookies cool completely.
Freeze the cookies for at least 30 minutes. Place 3 tablespoons of sorbet on the flat side of a cookie and top with another cookie. Repeat with remaining cookies. Store the ice cream sandwiches in the freezer in an airtight container until ready to eat. Can be made up to 2 days ahead.
