Description
Classic Ice Cream Sandwiches are a nostalgic frozen treat made by layering creamy ice cream between two soft cookies or brownie layers. They’re easy to customize, perfect for summer, and loved by all ages.
Ingredients
- 1 quart ice cream (any flavor), slightly softened
- 12 to 16 cookies, brownies, or cake-like layers (store-bought or homemade)
- Optional: mini chocolate chips, sprinkles, crushed nuts, or crushed candy for coating
- Parchment or wax paper (for wrapping)
Instructions
- Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes to soften slightly.
- If using homemade cookies or brownies, ensure they are completely cooled.
- Scoop or spread a generous amount of softened ice cream onto the flat side of one cookie or brownie.
- Top with a second cookie or brownie and gently press to form a sandwich.
- Roll the edges in sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, or crushed nuts, if desired.
- Wrap each sandwich tightly in parchment or wax paper.
- Place wrapped sandwiches in the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours until firm.
- Serve directly from the freezer for best texture.
Notes
- Use soft-baked cookies or brownies to ensure easy biting after freezing.
- Wrap well to prevent freezer burn and preserve freshness.
- Work quickly when assembling to prevent melting.
- Chill your cookies or brownies before assembling to keep ice cream from melting too fast.
- Use a cookie cutter to shape both cookies and ice cream for uniform sandwiches.
