Description

Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Sandwich is a sweet, refreshing handheld dessert that transforms the classic strawberry shortcake into a frozen treat. Buttery shortcake biscuits sandwich creamy strawberry ice cream, fresh strawberries, and optional whipped cream for the ultimate summer indulgence.


Ingredients

  1. 68 shortcake biscuits (homemade or store-bought)
  2. 1 pint strawberry ice cream (or vanilla with strawberry swirl)
  3. 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  4. 12 tsp sugar (optional, for macerating berries)
  5. 1 cup whipped cream (optional)


Instructions

Prepare Biscuits: If using homemade shortcake biscuits, bake according to recipe and let them cool completely. Slice each biscuit horizontally to create a top and bottom layer.

  1. Macerate Strawberries (Optional): In a small bowl, toss sliced strawberries with sugar. Let sit for 10–15 minutes to release juices and soften.
  2. Soften Ice Cream: Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes until slightly softened for easier scooping and spreading.
  3. Assemble Sandwiches: On the bottom half of each biscuit, place a scoop of strawberry ice cream. Top with macerated strawberries and a spoonful of whipped cream, if using. Cover with the top half of the biscuit.
  4. Freeze or Serve: Serve immediately for a soft sandwich, or wrap each sandwich in parchment or plastic wrap and freeze for 1–2 hours for a firmer texture.
  5. Optional Garnish: Just before serving, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted white chocolate if desired.

Notes

  • Make the sandwiches ahead of time and store them in the freezer wrapped individually for grab-and-go treats.
  • Try using different ice cream flavors like vanilla bean, strawberry cheesecake, or berry sorbet.
  • Use a warm knife for a clean cut if slicing into halves or mini portions.
