Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 large egg yolks
Instructions
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine milk, sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir until warm.
- In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks. Slowly add the warm milk mixture to temper, then return to saucepan. Cook until slightly thickened. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, then let cool.
- Add heavy cream, refrigerate until chilled, and churn in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer’s instructions. Freeze until firm.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, whisk oats, flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla, and beat until combined. Gradually mix in dry ingredients.
- Scoop dough onto a baking sheet and bake 10–12 minutes or until golden. Cool completely.
- Let the cinnamon ice cream soften slightly. Place a scoop between two oatmeal cookies, gently pressing them together. Smooth edges with a knife if desired.
- Freeze sandwiches until firm before serving.
Notes
- Store-bought oatmeal cookies and cinnamon ice cream can be used for convenience.
- Cookies should be soft and chewy to prevent hardness when frozen.
- Sandwiches can be wrapped individually and stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
- Let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before eating for easier biting.
