Description
Ice Cream Sandwiches are a fun and customizable frozen dessert made with creamy ice cream layered between soft cookies, brownies, or cake-like layers. Perfect for summer days, parties, or make-ahead treats.
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 cookie crumbs for coating
- Parchment or wax paper (for wrapping and freezing)
Instructions
- Let the ice cream soften at room temperature for 5–10 minutes for easier spreading.
- If using homemade cookies or brownies, make sure they are completely cooled.
- Scoop or spread a layer of softened ice cream onto the flat side of one cookie or brownie layer.
- Top with another cookie or brownie, gently pressing to form a sandwich.
- Roll the edges in mini chocolate chips, sprinkles, or your favorite add-ins if desired.
- Wrap each sandwich individually in parchment or wax paper.
- Place the wrapped sandwiches in the freezer for at least 2 hours or until firm.
- Unwrap and serve directly from the freezer.
Notes
- Soft, chewy cookies work best for easier biting when frozen.
- For clean edges, smooth the ice cream with a spatula or butter knife after assembling.
- Customize with different cookie and ice cream flavors for variety.
- Use cookie cutters for fun shapes, especially for parties or kids.
- Let sit at room temperature for 1–2 minutes if too firm to bite.
